Vicious Kings

They say the devil goes by many names, and I know four of them:
Ciro, Hale, Zaid, and Lucas.
My father was once a powerful player in the Chicago underground, but six years ago, he left that life behind.

We changed our names.
Our identities.
Our lives.

The ghosts of the past never forgot him though. They never forgot me.

Dad promised me we were safe, but I should’ve known that was just another one of his lies.

The past always finds you, and mine finds me on my wedding day when four brutal, dangerous men drag me from the altar in a hail of gunfire.

Four men who used to be four boys.
Four boys I cared about.
Four boys I left behind.

They’re not the same boys I knew though, and whatever we may have once been to each other, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Because they’re only one thing to me now:

My captors.

Vicious Kings is book one of The Dark Elite series. This is a dark mafia romance series that includes high steam, violence, and foul language.

Imagine a red wedding, super bloody, your father gets shot in front of you and you get shot.
What would your first thoughts be after getting kidnapped and slowly bleeding out?
Obviously how the twins, the kidnapper, share everything, including you.
So FMC has naughty thoughts in the back of a car, after her red bloody wedding. But her kidnapper as well! Let's marvel about her soft skin before making sure she doesn't bleed out.
Short while later FMC is tied to a bed, super weak from blood loss and obviously one of the kidnappers tries to do the dirty with her. Not like she hasn't been fantasizing about it since she woke up. And then another one fingers her to punish someone? She just got shot.
Girl your father just got killed. You haven't even asked if your fiancée survived. And all you think about is fucking.

This reads like cheap porn. If I want a story that makes zero sense and doesn't even try, I watch actual porn. At least there the dialogues aren't this stupid.
