CROSS
Have you ever stood next to a fire and felt the heat of it on your skin? Stared into the flames and thought how amazing it would be to be that free? It changes direction with the wind, destroying everything in its wake.

That's what she felt like.

Alexa was a wildfire that torched everything she touched, and I couldn't wait to be consumed by her.

She was off-limits. Even though I promised to stay away, I couldn't resist. She was the spark I had been missing in my life. The fire I craved. I knew from an early age I was destined to burn in hell, but she was born to walk through fire.

ALEXA
I was single-minded, focused, and independent. Just how my mother raised me. I didn't have time for anything other than myself and work.

Funny how everything can change in an instant when you least expect it.

A King entered my life.

What was supposed to be one night ended up being too many to count. He was afraid that I'd see his darkness, but I couldn't get enough of him.

After all, a fire burns the brightest in the dark of night. And it only takes one match to cause total devastation.

CROSS is the fourth book in The Dark Kingdom Series and can be listened to as a standalone. Due to mature content and themes this book is recommended for listeners aged eighteen and over. This novel may contain triggers.

Every page had me on edge; secrets, heat, drama, and heart.

“We all have a cross to bear…” and ohhh, did I feel every word of that in this book 😭

I absolutely love the Dark Kings world and this story just fed my obsession even more! 👑 Every time one of these Kings finds his Queen, I swear my heart gets stolen all over again, and this time it was Cross’s turn. ❤️‍🔥

Cross is loyal, protective, and surprisingly tender beneath all that darkness. He’s the fire you want to get burned by. 🖤
And Alexa? My girl is fierce, independent, and doesn’t take crap from anyone. 🔥 She’s strong, sexy, and stands her ground like a true Queen. Together? Pure combustion. ⚡

Their chemistry was addictive; passionate, intense, and oh-so-consuming. I couldn’t stop reading! 📖
Every page had me on edge; secrets, heat, drama, and heart. Shantel Tessier does it again! 👏

Can’t get enough of Cross

My favorite king so far🥰! I loved this book so much and wish it were longer.

Wow great story!

This is a fantastic story. I can’t wait for the next one! The narration was so well done! Highly recommend!

Why are all the FL’s so stupid

Alexa is irritatingly stupid. I just can’t with her. Cross, you know, the bad guys is the most honest one of the two. Meanwhile, Alexa is the one who is ridiculous and wants to lie to everyone including herself. She isn’t tough she is stupid and a coward.

love

Everything us smuts want

Solid plot great sex Shantel never fails I love this series I read it after the lords but if you come across it before you read the lords start here

Tough meets soft

Absolutely adore everything about this book and series. Big untouchable men who find their soulmates.

A light in the darkness

This was a really good book in the series. Some spice and a plot, just not as intense when it came to the drama that occurs with the FMC as some of the others; I really wish these books had been longer. I need more! Cross is such a teddy bear. The narrators were perfect!

confused

what story are we following? seems like more than 1. chapter 16 and not sure if I'm in the same book

You can feel the heat🔥🔥

Cross is a super underrated character in this series in my opinion and I loved hearing his story. The narration was PERFECT and this story had me not wanting to pause for even a second!
