I'm in line for the mafia throne. She's a target because of me.

After an enemy strike, I may now be king.
In charge of keeping the crime family legacy alive.
I do not fear a thing, except losing her.

My dark-haired beauty is the air that I breathe.
No one gets to her without going through me.

Still, our brutal enemies will try.
When they come, they'll learn how savage a Larussio can be.

Because I will unleash a reign of fury before letting Serena go.

Rise is the thrilling second book in the completed Brutal Kings trilogy by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, forbidden love, mafia romance. You will love this trilogy where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each novel in this collection builds to the next and they are most enjoyably read from beginning to end with a guaranteed HEA in the final book, Reign.
