Edon Garo and Adriel Tirana were betrothed to be married, even if neither of them knew it. When Edon’s father gave him the ultimatum to either marry Adriel or give back the Syndicate, he knew that he was going to have to do some fast thinking. There was no way that he planned on settling down any time soon, no matter how incredibly sexy he found the petite brunette. His father would just have to accept the fact that his drunken pledge, to join his oldest son to the Tirana family, wasn’t going to work out because hell would freeze over before Edon would settle down and marry any woman.
Adriel Tirana was done with the old-fashioned ways of her family and her Syndicate. She hated that her father pledged her hand in marriage to a Garo—Edon Garo, no less. He didn’t even know that she existed and blowing her off for their arranged first date was just the push she needed to finally tell Edon off, once and for all. She wouldn’t be ignored by the man who was supposed to be her future husband. It didn’t matter that she didn’t want to marry him or any other man, for that matter. Adriel would make her point, tell him to go to hell, and move on. Yeah—that was the plan, but instead, she woke up the next morning in his bed with no recollection of how she got there. And now, everyone was hearing wedding bells except for her and her prospective groom, and Adriel had a feeling that wouldn’t end well for either of them.
Edon is the first book in the Garo Syndicate Trilogy (Social Rejects Syndicate) by K.L. Ramsey

Luciana
I knew at a young age my father would dictate my life by choosing my husband. A man who could increase my father’s power as King of Colombia and one of the biggest crime lords to walk this Earth.
As Princess of Colombia and of the Rojas Crime Family I always assumed my father would marry me off to a prince next in line to the thrown, or a King. I never imagined my father would trade me to a crime lord who was much darker than my father. I knew I was a possession to my farther, I had been foolish to believe he would ensure my safety. He only wanted to plant me as a spy.
I had heard of Amir Boutella and his family. If the rumors were true they were monsters. One rumor in particular had me scared senseless…Amir had killed his first wife. The reason why was unknown to me. Would he kill me as well once he was finished with me?
Once Amir staked his claim on me I quickly learn not everything is black and white. Yes he is dark…oh so dark, but I found his light. He was evil, but he was also good. He wasn’t the monster the rumors made him out to be. He made me hate him yet at the same time crave the unyielding passion he offered behind closed doors. Could I betray my father? More importantly, could I betray my husband?
 
Amir
King Mateo Rojas made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for weapons for a war he was preparing for, not only did he offer me millions, but his daughter as a sign of good faith. He introduced Princess Luciana to me and my brother’s and I knew my claim was staked on the fiery beauty.
I was known as one of the meanest crime lords in all of Africa and South America. I was a man who offered no mercy and no second chances. There were many rumors about me and my family and I let them exist so others would fear us all that much more.
Luciana tames my demons and takes away the darkness. I’m not sure I necessarily like how she makes me feel. Perhaps that’s why I keep her locked up like an animal and use her at my will, my mercy. She is a possession her father gave me freely to use as I saw fit.
What happens when Luciana tells me the real reason her father offered her up for marriage? Can I trust her with my own secrets and the two of us work together to bring her father and The Rojas Crime Family down.

Topher

I’d never imagined I would find someone who completed me, just to lose her. I’d never imagined the
love I felt could be overshadowed by the deepest depression I’d ever lived through.
Two years had passed since she touched my life, since she was taken from me. I was afraid to let anyone else close, afraid to lose them like I lost her, and then Destiny crashed into my life. She was nothing like Ciera, and that’s what attracted me. The more she pushed me away, the more I wanted her. I knew I was playing with fire, but I liked the burn.

Destiny

He was so unexpected, nothing like the guys I would normally go for, but he was persistent. He saw the ugliness inside of me, and he accepted it; he nurtured it. I’d been looking out for me for so long that, when he came into the
picture, I couldn’t accept it. It was too good to be true. He was too good to be true, too good for someone like me. But when shit hit the fan, Topher was there by my side, holding me up. He didn’t run away when things got tough, and that meant the world to me. I wasn’t Ciera; I didn’t want to be her. I just wanted a chance to show him the love I knew he deserved.

Topher

Holy fucking shit.
This girl is nuts.

I can’t help the smirk spreading across my lips. I bring my glass up to my mouth, taking another
sip from it.

“Look, man, I won fair and square, and you want to be a sore loser? You knew what you were
getting into when you agreed to play. I’m sorry you underestimated my skills.”

The giant of a man stalks forward toward the girl. She doesn’t move an inch. Badass.

She looks fierce behind her glossy black hair. The bottom of it is dyed teal, and she has
chocolatey brown eyes. She is short, no taller than 5’2”. She has an hourglass
figure, and I’m pretty sure she’s Hispanic. Although much smaller than her
opponent, she stands tall. There is no fear in her eyes. I can’t look away.

What’s even more entrancing is the fact that this isn’t just a two-person argument—there are two
more goons standing behind the one in the altercation. They have their arms
crossed in front of their chests, waiting for the right moment to jump in.

“Give me my money back and maybe I’ll let you walk out of here,” the huge man threatens. He has
bulging biceps and looks Hawaiian.

The ferocious girl glances up at him. “Maybe you’ll let me walk out of here?” She laughs, slamming
the money back onto the pool table. “You’re going to pay me what you owe me,
and maybe I’ll forget this ever happened.”

I don’t know this girl from Adam, but she’s downright insane if she thinks she can take him.
