Kings and Consorts

Twisted Devotion Publisher's Summary

He was never supposed to see her. She was never supposed to survive.

Emily’s life has always existed in the shadow of the dead. Working at her family’s funeral home, she thought she knew secrets. But nothing prepares her for the night she discovers what really happens after midnight—or the man who’s been watching her from the dark.

Ruarc is a killer with a code. Ruthless, disciplined, and loyal only to his criminal family. But the moment he sees Emily, something shifts. She’s meant to be leverage—an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of betrayal and revenge. Instead, she becomes his obsession.

What begins as coercion spirals into a brutal, intimate entanglement neither of them expected. He wants control. She wants answers. And when the line between predator and protector blurs, Emily must decide how far she’ll go to survive… and what she's willing to feel for the man who’s claimed her.

Twisted Devotion is a dark, gripping romance full of morally gray characters, intense chemistry, and unrelenting tension. Perfect for listeners who like their love stories with bite, danger, and emotional damage.

Content Warning: This book contains scenes of kidnapping, violence, psychological manipulation, and non-traditional power dynamics. Recommended for mature listeners only.
