Arianne
Capizola is living a lie.
Angry.
Abandoned. Afraid.
She’d rather
spend her days locked away on her father’s estate than with the guy who stole
her innocence: her fiancé.
Niccolò
Marchetti is living a nightmare.
Broken.
Banished. Betrayed.
He’d do anything
to save the girl he loves, even if it means paying the ultimate price.
As the truth
surround their legacies begins to unravel, everything they thought they knew
shatters. But Nicco will do anything to protect the girl who taught him how to
love, and she will risk it all to save the guy who stole her heart.
The clock is ticking
as old and new enemies close in.
Only this time,
their love might not be enough to save them.
**King
of Souls is the second book in Nicco and Ari’s duet. Due to mature content that
some readers may find distressing, this book is recommended for readers 18+
Be still my
heart! This series is EVERYTHING! There’s love, angst, betrayal, drama and
everything in between. When you’re a Mafioso that happens to fall in love with
the enemy, war is sure to erupt. Add in the fact that you are betrothed to the vilest
man of them all and you have King of Souls. One of the best angsty dark
romances that you will read.
This is the
second installment of the Verona Legacy and my goodness was it worth the wait.
It is bittersweet because we get the ending that we have been waiting for,
although it does mean that this duet is over. There is so much emotion
throughout this book, so grab your tissues and get ready to go on an adventure
of a lifetime. You will love each waking minute, trust me!
King of Souls is
a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, but will they live to tell the tale? Nico and
Ari have sworn to love each other no matter what their families have to say.
However, are there people within the ranks of both families willing to go the
distance to keep them apart??? With more lies and deceit coming to light, it
begs to wonder if they are safe within their own families.
If you love
mystery, crime and a whole lot of love and steamy chemistry, this duet is
definitely the one for you. L.A. Cotton never disappoints and always brings her
characters to life on the pages and let me just say after reading this, you
will all want a clone of Nico!!!!!
Audio coming soon!!
“Nicco!” Arianne
clambered off the bed and rushed to my side.
“Wait.” I held
up my other hand to stop her. A dark angry storm was raging through me. I
wanted to hit something, to hurt and bleed.
I needed it.
Dark rivulets of
blood seeped over my hand, but I barely felt it. I was too wired. Too hungry
for the kill.
“Let me take a
look at it.” Arianne stepped forward and I jerked back, like a caged animal
being riled.
“Nicco, it’s me.
It’s only me.” She had me cornered with no way out. My body trembled violently
as I desperately tried to hold on to my frayed rope of control.
“Nicco...”
Arianne brushed the hair from my face. My head hung low, my shoulders hunched
and tight. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to hunt him down and kill him with my
bare hands.
“Come back to
me.” She gently lifted my busted hand and inspected the damage. “It needs
cleaning. Let me see what there is.” Arianne left me and went into the
bathroom. When she came back, she had a small first aid kit. “I found it in the
cabinet. Sit.” Her gaze went to the bed, but I remained rigid.
“I need to
stand.”
“Okay. Hold
still.” She worked in silence, cleaning me up and bandaging my hand. My pulse
began to slow, the tightness in my chest easing.
It was her.
Her touch, her
calmness.
“I’m sorry,” I
choked out.
Arianne took my
face in her hands and looked right at me. God, I wanted to drown in the dark
pools of honey. “Talk to me.”
“I want to kill
him... I should have killed him.”
“So why didn’t
you?”
It was the last
thing I expected her to say, but I knew this wasn’t about her, it was about me.
“It’s not that
simple,” I released a heavy sigh. “If I’d have killed him... it would start
something we might not be able to finish. I can’t do that to the Family, to
you.”
She nodded,
dropping one of her hands to mine and lacing them together. “I hate Scott for
what he did to me. I hate him so much that sometimes I wish you had done it.”
Arianne took a shuddering breath. “But I want a life with you. I want a future.
I can’t have that if you’re behind bars... or worse.”
“If he hurts you
again, I can’t promise I won’t do it.”
Something
flashed in her eyes, but before I could decipher it, Arianne kissed me. “I
don’t want to talk any more, Nicco. I want you to love me. I want you to make
me forget about the monsters.”
In this duet:
99¢ for a VERY
limited time!
Author of over
thirty mature young adult and new adult novels, L A is happiest writing the
kind of books she loves to read: addictive stories full of teenage angst,
tension, twists and turns.
Home is a small
town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time
writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and
when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find L A
immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
