Killing for me is easy. Loving is an entirely different thing.
Una is the only person I ever gave a damn about, but she's off limits. I’m grateful she only spends the summer with us. I can't risk her getting involved in my life of crime. But now she’s here, all grown up, and this time, I don’t think I can stay away from her.
When Una starts partying with Darragh, who’s as wild and unpredictable as they come, I can't afford keeping my distance any longer. Bodies seem to stack up wherever he goes. Cleaning up his messes used to be annoying. Now I have Una to consider, Una to protect.
My family is belly deep in the criminal underworld, and she's a distraction I can't afford. The closer she gets to me, the more I'm spiraling out of control.
I can't let her see who I really am, but I can't seem to let her go.
Vicious is a two part story focusing on Finn and Shane O'Reagan.

Sold to pay off a debt to the rich owner of a casino. He locked her up in his penthouse for his exclusive use. He held her captive, and punished her when she resisted. She knew he was a bad man, who did bad things. She had to get away before he took more than she could give.
Khalid was used to taking what he wanted and walking away without regrets. Until he met Shania. Beautiful, sweet and uncorrupted by his world, he would protect her, cherish her, force her to submit. He would keep her locked away from the world and teach her to love him, in spite of her misgivings.

"Fortorus they called it—for the brave—but as we passed through the colossal iron gates inside the prison, I knew better. This place wasn’t about fortitude or resilience. It wasn’t about hard work or stamina. This was a place to put us until they decided what to do with us. It was a place to torment us, to break us down.
It was hell."
Great Britain, 2024.
A dark, dystopian place where rights have been eradicated and the rule of law is controlled by white, overbearing men with expensive educations and dangerously high cholesterols. Women are rounded up, and herded into a prisoner camp called Fortorus. The door to liberal democracy slammed shut.
That's where I find myself.
Alone and helpless.
At the mercy of the malicious men in charge.
But in the midst of this bleak nightmare, I forget the most basic rule of all.
Never fall in love with the enemy...
