Perfect for you if...

You love dark romance where the protective male lead is genuinely dangerous but softens only for his heroine.
You're drawn to high-stakes stories where both characters are hiding something that could destroy everything.
You want crime family drama with chemistry that crackles off the page, not just steamy scenes for their own sake.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer romance where the stakes are emotional rather than physical danger and life-or-death consequences.
You're uncomfortable with themes involving domestic violence or abuse, even when the story centres on survival and protection.
You need clear, straightforward plots without secrets that drive the central conflict forward.

About this book

Dark Succession is the first book in Katee Robert's O'Malley series, centered on a wealthy, powerful family marked by scandal and danger. Teague O'Malley resists his father's demand that he marry Callista Sheridan to cement a business alliance. When he meets Callie, he notices bruises on her neck and recognizes her fighting spirit, prompting him to protect her. Callie is drawn to Teague's lethal presence and coiled power. His touch affects her deeply. However, as their connection deepens, the stakes rise. Callie harbors a dark secret that could prove fatal to Teague if revealed.
