Fierce King (L.A. Ruthless #1)

“I am a lioness, and I will protect my cub.”

Alize stays brave even when she is terrified. She faces Alistair because she has no other choice for her family.

“She was my obsession. My light. My darkness.”

Alistair believes he can own every person in his path. He learns that Alize is the one soul he cannot truly buy.

The wedding scene felt like a funeral. It shows how easily a contract can replace a person's entire future.

Loyalty in the mafia is usually about fear. Alize changes the dynamic by showing Alistair a different kind of devotion.
