The Devil I Don't Know (Brooklyn Kings #1) by L.K. Shaw

 


Blurb:

Jacob

My father is dying, and I’ve been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader. I may not want a wife, but I’ll kill anyone who tries to harm her.

I only hope she doesn’t expect love in our marriage. I can’t—won’t—love her. Not ever. I don’t have it in me.

Brenna

My life has always been about duty. When my grandfather signs a marriage contract, I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again, I’m bound by duty.

I’ve always been invisible—the person who fades into the background—except soon my new husband begins to see me.

He’s a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?

 

My review:

The Devil I Don't Know is dark, gritty and violent. It’s also sweet and sexy. At 24 Brenna is given by her Irish mobster grandfather to the new leader of the Italian syndicate to seal an alliance. Neither Brenna nor Jacob had anything to say in the matter. Duty compels them. Can they make the best of it? Laughs, love, betrayals and murder. This book compelled me to keep reading. Terrific start to a new series.
