Savage Empire Books 2 - 3

Book 2I fought against him at every turn.Killian Scarano, the most infuriating, sexiest, adonis of a man I've ever met. But as my family begins to crumble around me after my father's lies and bad deals call his leadership into question I realize it's Killian's domineering and controlling ways that's kept me safe. Protecting me the way I would expect my future husband too, and peeling me open to reveal parts of myself I didn't even know were there.
But keeping my father's secrets for the good of the family and the alliance we so desperately need weighs heavily on me as I no longer view Killian as my enemy. I need him now more than ever and I'm concerned that if he finds out I've been lying we won't survive. It's time to choose where my loyalty truly lies and soon, before it's too late. Book 3Marrying Killian was supposed to bring an end to the troubles and disputes between families.
We didn't count on the Russians upping their game to unseat us. My father is dead and a war is brewing, one I'm certain we can't avoid. They're getting sneakier in their tactics and we have to be careful. I'm either the target or the bait. Killian swears to protect me, and I believe him. He's unlocked parts of me I never knew existed and now I'm positively addicted. Killian's the only thing keeping me above water. And yet his ex won't leave us alone, small game, when there's a war on the horizon but Killian loves me, nothing Blair claims about a son or otherwise will change that.
So why can't I shake the feeling that there's something else at play here?
