They say love conquers all. They've never met the Scythe.

Kaden Black was hired to kill me.
He's a scarred ex-soldier with a list of bodies behind him and a decade-old vow of revenge. I'm the key to drawing out the man who destroyed his life – and now I'm under Kaden's ruthless protection.

Every camera he installs strips away another layer of my privacy. Every order he barks reminds me I'm trapped. But when rival assassins break in, it's Kaden's brutal efficiency that keeps me breathing.

I tell myself I hate him. That his dangerous allure doesn't drown out my survival instinct. That I don't crave the possessive glint in his eyes when he looks at me.

I'm lying.

As he spirals deeper into obsession, I realize I have a choice to make. Help Kaden hunt down the monsters from his past, or break free and save myself.

But freedom comes at a price. And it might just cost me the one man I can't bear to lose.

Black Heart is a deliciously dark, obsessive romance with an over-the-top hero with questionable morals and a young woman at his mercy. mature themes and violence ahead.

My Review: Ketley does it again. It's dark, it's thrilling and has the romance you've come to expect from her. 

Kaden is a man drenched in grief. So much so that it's destroyed him. Now he's a hired killer and is tasked with getting Layla over coming across something she shouldn't have. 

Torn between what he's told to do and instinct to protect her, Kaden will need Layla's help to escape his past. The two of them is something you can't miss reading about. It's one the better mafia reads I've read in a long time and certainly can't wait for more.
