#1 - The Butcher

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me, and his mistress was the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself.

I move out, get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place.

One night at work, he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. A forest fire ignites between us the moment our eyes meet. I invite him back to my place, and it’s the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again.

I just wanted him as an anti-depressant—but he wants me all to himself. I don’t get much of a say when I learn why: he’s The Butcher, the crime lord of Paris.

And now I’m his.

#2 - The Carver

I’m fully in this with Bastien now. Known as The Butcher, Bastien oversees all the gangs of Paris. If I were smart, I would leave, but I’m pretty sure I’m already in love with him . . .

My ex, Adrien, continues to challenge our divorce until Bastien gets involved. And like always, he fixes all my problems.

But little do I know, Adrien's rival faction, the Aristocrats, are out to get him. Adrien continues to ignore Bastien’s warnings, which he only gave out of a courtesy to me.

But Adrien’s recklessness quickly becomes my problem when the Aristocrats target me instead of Adrien—because technically, we are still married. And I’m still the woman Adrien loves.
I find myself in a world of trouble, and the only person who can save me is The Butcher. A French Emperor. Leader of the Fifth Republic.

The man that will kill anyone and everyone for me.

Can their love conquer the ultimate test? Don’t miss the gripping conclusion to Fleur and
Bastien’s story!

I drowned. I held my breath as long as I could, but then my lungs sucked in water hoping it was
air, and it was a painful and brutal ending, an agonizing drowning, my heart beating so hard
desperate for oxygen . . . until it just stopped. I could never forget it . . . even if I wanted to.

Bastien assumes our relationship is over. That I’ll run for the hills and wash my hands clean of
the most dangerous man in Paris. But I’m not going anywhere. Not now. Not ever. I ran before,
but not anymore. I can tell it means the world to him.

But the dangers haven’t passed. The Aristocrats want blood for their leader’s execution.
Bastien and his brother are still sworn enemies, and the gangs are beginning to riot against the
Fifth Republic. It’s the most dangerous time to be a French Emperor.

Bastien tells me all this . . . but I still won’t leave.

I know Bastien will keep me safe from all the monsters that lurk under the streets of Paris . . .
until he doesn’t. Until I’m captured by his enemies and taken from the City of Light. I know
Bastien will come for me. I know Bastien will kill every single one of them for taking me.

But will I be dead by the time he gets here . . . like last time?
