Protecting His Queen: An Anti Hero Mafia Romantic Suspense Story - Khloe Wren

As one of the Kings of Sydney, Daniil Mikhailov ruthlessly controls everything in his world with a cold brutality that ensures no one would ever dare cross him. But he knows how fast things can change, to never get close to anyone who could be used against him by his rivals.

He accepted paying this price to live the opulent life he loved until a chance encounter with a bright and bubbly artist changed everything. Suddenly, his thoughts are consumed with the much younger woman, with keeping her protected. A feat not made easy considering the way trouble follows her around.

While he never wanted to be anyone's hero, he can't resist being hers. Even when he knows it means she's his biggest weakness, and that there's no way his rivals will pass up this chance to knock him off his throne.
