Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses, #1)

0/5 ( ratings)

Doctor Kal Anderson assumes he did have a heart at some point in his life.
Whether it was before watching his mother die after a long battle with cancer, or before he was taken in by the most notorious criminal family in Boston, he isn’t sure.

Now, at thirty-two years old, all he knows is that the organ in his chest plays a mechanical role at best. His cold, emotionless existence gives him an edge as a fixer and in-house physician for the Mafia; his judgment is impartial and swift as death, with nothing to distract from his work.

Until her.

Elena Ricci, his boss’s twenty-year-old daughter.

Strong-willed and accustomed to violence, Elena knows she’s a temptation quickly becoming a problem.

After admiring the heartless doctor from afar most of her life, she catches him in a moment of weakness, and the pair share a single night of passion as they attempt to work each other from their system.

Only, the night seems to have the opposite effect. Elena is no longer a simple temptation to Kal, but a necessity.

An obsession.

One he won’t let anyone stand in his way of, even if that means crashing her wedding to another man, making her his wife, and stealing her away to the corrupt little island he resides on.

Alone with the man of her nightmares for the first time ever, Elena starts to chip away at the layers of ice surrounding his hardened heart. But the warmth and depravity from her new husband may not be worth the secrets unveiled, or the lives that will forever be altered.
