Darkest Retribution by Elira Firethorn

Jade
In my life, there are two things I know to be completely, irrevocably true.
First, my brother ruins everything.
And second, I can never, ever fall in love.
Not when my brother has already exploited my weak spots for his gain. And not when I’m so close to finally leaving behind the life of crime I was born into.
It doesn’t matter if my neighbor has a soft spot for me and my niece. It doesn’t matter if I’m drawn to him like I’ve never been drawn to any man before.
I have a plan, and I have to stick to it. And that means staying as far away from Dominic Grayson as possible.

Dominic
From the moment I saw Jade, I knew she’d be trouble.
Love isn’t a game I can afford to play right now. Neither is attachment. Yet my neighbor and her niece are burrowing their way further into my affections with every passing day.
The last thing I want to do is endanger them, and that’s why I promised myself I’d stay away.
But I don’t know how much longer I can do that when I can’t get her out of my head. Especially when I can’t help but feel that she’s about to slip through my fingers.
There are many things about Jade that are a mystery to me, but there’s one thing I know for sure:
She’s drawn to me like a moth to a flame.
And I just have to hope I don’t burn her.

Darkest Retribution is the third and final book in the Dark Luxuries Trilogy. It’s a dark, suspenseful romance, so it should be read with that in mind. It can be read as a standalone.
