He built his empire from the destruction of his past—but revenge might tear it all down.
Thirty years after the Knight family was torn apart, Zaire Knight now rules Chicora Falls from the shadows. With his team and a secret coalition comprised of his siblings, he targets the woman who destroyed his parents. But as he targets her rise to power, Zaire risks the underground dynasty he’s painstakingly built. As he seeks revenge, someone is targeting Bayleigh Reed, the love of his life, his businesses, and his family. Will his vendetta risk the underground empire he’s built, or will he uncover the enemy within his circle?
She had the crown, the man, and the life—but in the streets, peace never lasts.
Bayleigh Reed built her world brick by brick beside Zaire—the love of her life and a boss in the streets. But while Zaire’s battling his war, a quiet insurgency brews in their home. Kidnapped by Zaire’s enemies, Bayleigh comes face-to-face with her enemy. When she fights her way back, her world is in turmoil—Zaire’s world is crumbling, their dynasty is shaken, and the enemy might be someone sitting at their own table. Now Bayleigh’s got no choice but to ride for her man, protect her kids, and find out who’s biting the hand that feeds them… before everything they built burns down.
Behind every powerful king stands a beautiful queen ready for war.
