King of Violence by Holly Myers

I never planned to lose my heart to Julian Greco.

Heir to a formidable mafia legacy and devastatingly charismatic, Julian commands the shadowy corners of Valmont College with a quarterback’s grace and a capo’s ruthlessness. His life is a carefully choreographed play—both on the field and in the underground world where loyalty is everything and betrayal is met with swift retribution.
Our lives collided amidst the academia and adrenaline, at a place where I, a law student with a vendetta against his world, should have seen him as the enemy.
Julian is a master of manipulation, a seductive force in a life filled with danger and dark secrets. And now, against all odds, he’s also the man I can’t resist.
He doesn’t care that our love could detonate the tense truce in a city rife with mafia wars. He’s determined to break through my defenses, challenging my convictions, drawing me deeper into his perilous realm.
I thought I was prepared to fight the criminal empires that haunt Montcove.

Falling for Julian? It’s proving to be the most dangerous undertaking of all.
This is a dark MM mafia romance set against the backdrop of college rivalries and illicit affairs, with mature themes woven throughout. Viewer discretion is advised.
