Description

Dean saw what she did. Now, he holds the power...The ruthless halls of a mafia university are no place for the diminutive and gentle Cat. She barely survived her first year at school, at the cost of her innocence.Cat did something bad and Dean Yenin saw it. Now she’s being blackmailed by the most vicious bully at Kingmakers.He offers her a devil's bargain: his silence and protection...if Cat belongs to him.Dean’s twisted games of dominance have Cat doing things she never thought she’d do... But even the most sadistic games have rules, and Dean’s fascination with Cat might just be his undoing.At Kingmakers, love is a weapon used by the most lethal players. But brokenness can lead to unexpected strength, and sometimes, the one who holds the power is the one most vulnerable to its spell...The Lark Notes:My very first inspiration for Kingmakers was Dean Yenin. I wanted to write a true anti-hero who would need to undergo a very serious change in his character to complete his redemption arc. Dean will make you feel all the things, sometimes against your will. You’ll love him and hate him and love him again, and never get him out of your head. – Sophie“Kingmakers: Year Three” is a standalone novel. It's the third installment in the epic dark mafia Kingmakers series – a bully romance, full of dark, twisted enemies-to-lovers conflict. Reader beware, this one is intense.
