Synopsis
I sent a psychopath to prison. Now, he's out and back for revenge. They call me Kayla "The Ruthless" King. The Queen of the North Shore and leader of the Kings' Crew. Because of the sacrifices I've made and the merciless way I run my crew, the North Shore belongs to me. In our town, you can only thrive if you're the worst of the worst. But that all ended when the psychopath I put away returned with a target on my back. If I'm The Ruthless King, Nathan White is The Lawless God. The biggest and baddest of them all. He's heartless and cruel, and everyone is safer out of his way. Including me. When he comes back to the North Shore with only my name on his lips, I know my days are numbered. Or so I thought until he took me. Nathan doesn't want me dead. He wants me to suffer. And what better way than to keep me captive as he destroys my crew and legacy? I'm fighting a war that I'm unprepared for, and in the midst of chaos, my feelings blur with the need for survival. My secrets aren't safe anymore, and neither is my heart. You know what they say? Never fall in love with the enemy. Too late for that. Lawless God is a dangerously sexy, enemies to lovers, forced marriage, dark romance from bestselling author Lola King. It is a standalone in the interconnected North Shore Stories series.
