Crimson Break

When the prison walls fall, the real battle begins…

Once a decorated agent. Now a pawn in the Mafia’s game.
In a crumbling city ruled by crime lords and corruption, Kai Mercer has survived the underground fight pits for four years — forced to brawl for the entertainment of the same Mafia empire that destroyed his life. He’s lost count of how many bones he’s broken — or how many pieces of himself he’s left behind in the arena.

But when an unexpected prison break unleashes hell inside the compound, Kai seizes his only chance to escape. The problem? He doesn’t make it out alone.

Elena Romano — the Mafia heir’s hidden daughter — never planned to fall for the prisoner she’s supposed to keep caged. She’s been raised to obey, to stay invisible, to be the good daughter her father demands. But Kai makes her want something more dangerous than freedom — he makes her want to fight for herself.

Now they’re on the run through a city that wants them dead or captured — hunted by mercenaries, betrayed by the people they once called family. As the mafia closes in, trust becomes their only weapon. Love, their only lifeline.

In a world where loyalty is currency and survival is never guaranteed, can two broken souls outrun the past that hunts them? Or will the secrets they keep from each other become their final downfall?

Crimson Break is a heart-pounding, gritty dark romance saga of betrayal, found family, and the thin line between vengeance and mercy. Perfect for fans of ruthless mafia heirs, forbidden love, cage fights, morally gray antiheroes, and heroines who refuse to stay broken.
