Frivolous by Veronica Lancet

She was the beauty in a gilded cage.
He was the beast out for her destruction.

THE BEAST IN THE SHADOWS
Bastiano “Bass” DeVille is not a good man, and he’s never professed to be one. He lives, breathes, and kills for the famiglia. And in a world where money rules, blood is spilled and corpses abound, he is a king among men. After all, five years in prison have only increased his appetite for violence. And now… he has a new target.
The girl with stars in her eyes and thorns in her heart.

THE BELLE OF THE BALL
Gianna Guerra’s blinding beauty and glamorous life propelled her into the spotlight, bringing the New York City high society to her feet. Cruel and patronizing, people would rather be in her good graces than at the end of her tongue. But one failed engagement and her world threatens to fall apart. Because she may be the Queen Bee, but even mean girls have feelings. And Gianna’s might just take her on the road of no return.

DEFILE. DEBASE. DESTROY.
May the wickedest win.
