A Vengeful King Rises (House of Croft Book 1)

Adrian Croft never sought the criminal empire awaiting him. He imagined a life beyond London, with a family of his own, until tragedy leaves revenge as his sole purpose. Now a string of murders and the power of his criminal world draw him deeper into the life he once hoped to escape.

Samantha Carmichael is trained in covert operations by a secret government program and sent to collect evidence against Adrian, one of London’s most influential men. But her mission becomes complicated when she falls for the man she was meant to bring to justice.

As their lives grow more entangled and danger mounts, Samantha must weigh her duty against her feelings for Adrian. Their story unfolds across eight connected books, each with its own central mystery and a larger tale of murder, espionage, revenge, and forbidden love.
