He had it all. Money, power, that penthouse view—none of it mattered, not really. Not without her.
Vuk Markovic. Yeah, you’ve heard the name. The guy’s got a face you don’t forget—half of it marked by a scar, the other half usually hidden behind a scowl. Charming isn’t his thing. Friends? He’s got like, three, and that’s stretching it. The man would rather wrestle a bear than go to a dinner party.
Except for her. She’s the one crack in his armor. His forbidden fruit. The one he wants so bad, it actually hurts.
He spotted her first. Claimed her first—at least in his head. But now? She’s got a ring on her finger, and it ain’t from him. Nope, she’s engaged to his oldest buddy. And the closer that wedding gets, the more Vuk feels like he’s losing his damn mind. Loyalty’s a bitch, huh?
But hell, she should be his. And Vuk’s not above burning a few bridges—or blowing them up—if it means getting what he wants.
Ayana Kidane. All glitz and gloss on the outside. The kind of woman who breaks the internet just by stepping out for coffee. Supermodel, cover girl, walking fantasy. Everyone thinks she’s living the dream—career on fire, arm candy to one of NYC’s top-tier bachelors.
Yeah, right. If only they knew. The whole engagement is faker than her Instagram smile. He gets his daddy’s money. She gets the cash to finally ditch her toxic agency and breathe for once. That’s the deal.
Faking love? Easy. At least, it was—until Vuk stomped into her life with those haunted eyes and that whole brooding “I might ruin your life or save it” vibe. The guy’s dangerous, and she should absolutely steer clear. But the more her fake wedding turns into a dumpster fire, the more she finds herself running to him. Go figure.
But Vuk’s past? Yeah, it’s not just skeletons in the closet. Try a whole damn graveyard, and it’s about to burst wide open.
King of Envy is a spicy-as-hell billionaire romance with a hero who’s about as morally gray as a thundercloud. Book five in the Kings of Sin series, but you can totally jump in right here if you want the drama, steam, and a love story that’s anything but simple.
