HRH Prince Arthur Of Wales, third in line to the British monarchy. A royal pain in the backside, some say. A boy too gorgeous to even be real, the papers have written. A total mess and shame to the family, most will say. After returning to his prestigious private school in Westminster—Darcy Mount Academy—Arthur is faced with reaping the consequences from his summer of racking up hundred thousand pound bills at nightclubs and partying till the sun comes up with his banished cousin. Although, this year is different. The night before summer changed everything for him—for them. They’re in too deep. No matter how far he goes, Arthur knows that she will never leave his side. He can try to push her out but he doesn’t want to, really. She’s all he knows. All he has ever known since he was five. And now grappling with the tornado that is addiction, Arthur starts to wonder if they’ll ever make it out alive of their last two years at secondary school.Lady Phoebe Cadogan, an old money heir to her family’s name. She’s too perfect for him. She’s admired. She’s on the front pages of magazines, posing with her fashion designer mother and high model sister but not anymore. Everyone reads the papers. They’ve all seen what he got up to over the summer. There’s no hiding it. She’s been ripped apart, stripped naked and now has to navigate her way through London’s high society while juggling her friendships, the love she has for herself—or lack thereof—her friendships, her family and most importantly, her relationship. She loves Arthur. Convinced no one could love anyone or anything in a fraction of the way she loves him. Their families have been glued together since their mothers crossed paths at university. There’s no dividing them now. She doesn’t care what her friends think or what her dad thinks or what her sister thinks. All Phoebe knows is that she loves herself just that bit more when she’s Arthur—addiction or not—the love she has for him was carved into the walls of caves by the Greek Gods before us.The pair did always love Romeo & Juliette, though.“But also, between the cracks of all those things that don't make sense, there are a few things that do. Like religions. Like prayers. Like rules. Like leaders-someone tells you what to do and how to do it and you follow it. Arthur is my religion. He is what I go to when I need things to make sense. Like how Christians believe in three things. The mind, body and soul and all that? It makes sense to them. When they need that reassurance, that guiding light, that is where they go.To me, Arthur is my three things.”

A hard, dominating Bratva Prince A fearless, crazy Cartel Princess Aleksandr Volkov I've lived my life with rigid control. A tight vice on myself and my emotions. Scars from my past have left me broken. Riddled with guilt and anguish. When my baby sister was kidnapped, I feared the worst. That she'd suffered the same fate as our mother. It stirred up those feelings I've tried so desperately to bury and ignore. I never expected to find her. Drea Ortega. A 5ft, tattooed, killing machine who took my breath away from the first moment I laid eyes on her. She was my beacon of light in my dark chaotic world. My heart. My soul. My everything. Drea Ortega I loved my life in the Cartel. It was brutal and violent. Rough and bloody. All things I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked the way it challenged me. Forced me to think on my feet and adapt. Getting kidnapped happened sometimes in my line of work. It was nothing to cry over. Nothing to freak out about. You rolled up your sleeves and dealt with it as best you could. The Bratva were the stuff of nightmares. Rumours of their brutality and viciousness circled far and wide in the organised crime world. My dad told me to steer clear of them, and now I was stuck in the lion's den. I never expected to find him. Aleksandr Volkov. Tall. Dark. Sexy. He was hotter than any man had the right to be. Over 6 and a half feet of pure muscle and sin with a secret heart of gold. He forced his way into my life and now, I wasn't sure I could live without him. Author note: Bratva Prince is not a standalone. It is the second book in the Bratva series. Each book centres around a different couple, featuring a dark, dominating alpha male and the feisty heroine he falls in love with, who is just as violent and bloodthirsty as he is. The overall story intertwines with each book, and each couple receives a HEA. This series is not for the faint of heart. It contains extreme violence, harsh language, graphic sexual scenes and talk of sexual abuse. If these things offend you, then this book is not for you. It is not suited for anyone under the age of 18.

By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I've ever known. ** TRIGGER WARNING ** There are some dark and disturbing scenes of abuse and punishment.
