Publisher's summary

He didn't ask me to be his bride. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

I've been on the run from Constantine Thorne since I saw him kill a man nine years ago, but when he finally caught up with me he offered me a deal. Marry him and he will keep me safe.

I didn't realize he was the monster I'd feared until I was already his bride.

He's a brutal, heartless mafia boss and I wanted to hate the bastard, but with every stinging lash of his belt and every moment of helplessly intense passion, I fell deeper into the dark abyss.

He's the king of cruelty, and now I'm his queen.

Publisher's Note: King of Cruelty is a stand-alone novel which is the second entry in the Kings of Corruption series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Not your mother’s mafia romance !

I loved Constantine! Thomas Locklear made his so likeable i almost forgot he was a mob boss! Ri Paige is on top if her game bringing forth a sexy sassy Jade who is unafraid and defiant. Really enjoyed the plot twists and turns on this one. Cant wait for the next book!

sexy mafia

Constantine was being pushed by his father to marry and have an heir. He didn't want to marry anyone his father suggests.
He needed a strong willed woman . He found his match in Jade.
she was defiant, determined to disobey. She had a secret that Constantine wanted to k ow.
Secrets, betrayal,, murder, crooked cops, danger and hot steamy romance, is what Piper Stone does best.
What makes this an enjoyable listen is the narration by Ri Paige and Thomas Locklear. Both bring the emotions and intensity necessary for this mafia story.

Hot Mafia

Constantine seems to be this big bossy mafia dude and when he catches up to Jade years later. I swear she makes him turn to mush for her lol. When she finds out things about her family, his family that was hidden in the past he is there to catch her and help make it all make sense. This book has a lot of spicy scenes and some BDSM play. Thomas Locklear nailed another book with all his growls and Dom like presence. Ri Paige was a new to me narrator u til this series and she does a good job with the emotions of the women.

Strong female character

I have just recently started reading mafia romance. So far I either love the story or hate it. I absolutely loved this story. Piper Stone did an amazing job, I did not expect certain things to play out the way they did! I love the strong female character. You don’t always get that and having any ties to the mafia you need to be strong.

I loved the chemistry between the main characters and the narrators Thomas Locklear and Ri Page did an amazing job!

Gah Constantine

Constatine...that's all. That man, he was much darker than Gabriel, but he drew men in even more than Gabriel. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I like that the women in these books aren't weak, and they can stand up to these brutal men and change them. I'm definitely enjoying this series. Thomas Locklear and Ri Paige have done a great job bringing this series to life.

Loved It!

Thomas Locklear and Ri Paige are great together as narrators. They have the same enthusiasm and energy when delivering these characters. Constantine may be a bada$$ but he treats Jade with respect and appreciates her tenacity. Jade learns her family and past was not what it seemed. She adores the closeness of the Thorn family. I enjoyed this book!

King of Cruelty

This was a very delicious dark tantalizing story with domination, submission and enough heat to make my panties melt and the sexy bad guy getting her to truly Submit with her heart.

Thomas and Ri did such a fantastic job with this story I enjoyed every delicious minute.
