Best Served Cold — Early Edition

Wayward Heirs, Book Two. Read it two weeks before it hits Amazon.

I ruled an empire once. Now the only thing I own is the one man who can break me.

Levi Ridenour is a gunsmith. Loud. Stubborn. Incapable of shutting his mouth, even at gunpoint. He's also my hostage—and I'm the one who shot him in the ass.

My family handed me a single job to earn my way back to Paris: find out who owns four hundred blood diamonds. I have three days to deliver a name, and one witness to squeeze—a man who's already dead on paper. As far as the world knows, Levi Ridenour doesn't exist. Which makes him mine.

Levi has seen what my family does to men who get in our way. He should be begging for his life. Instead, he's naming his price, mouthing off to killers, and looking at me like I'm something worth wanting. He keeps saying things I can't afford to believe. The last man who called me beautiful sold me out and took everything I had.

Now I have to choose between the man I'm falling for and the empire I'm owed.

BEST SERVED COLD is Book Two in the Wayward Heirs series, a dark MM mafia romance featuring captor/captive, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, obsession, and found family. HEA guaranteed.

What an Early Edition is

The finished book, in your hands about two weeks before it goes live on Amazon. You buy it here, it lands in your inbox on release day, and you read it while everyone else is still waiting.

It also carries an exclusive bonus epilogue you won't get in the Amazon edition — one more scene with Levi and Niko after the last page, only in this version.

Buying it direct is also the version where the money comes to me instead of to Amazon — that's the whole reason this shop exists.
