King of Hearts
King of Hearts - A paranormal why-choose romance novel, and Book 3 in the Monsters in the Darkness series.
Erik is a King without a throne, but all that is about to change. His father's grip on the city is loosening, and he sees his chance to strike. Armed with an unnatural amount of luck, he is ready to take control of the family business, with the help of his loyal friends. Jesse, his right-hand man, keeps his ego in check. Levy, his constant reminder of what they hope to achieve. Anders, the caustic thorn in his side that forces him to stay ruthless. Part of his plan hinges on one person in particular - the daughter of his father's business associate, who is a pawn in her own family's games. Erik steals Grace away from under her brother's nose, expecting to have captured a weapon that will help with their rebellion.
Grace, however, is no weapon. As it turns out, she's no one's pawn either. Her presence in their lives throws their dynamic off balance, and forces Erik to shift his focus. Is Grace the missing key that will help them wrestle power from the men holding their city hostage? Or is she the catalyst that will bring about their ruin?
Will Erik's luck be enough to keep them all safe? Because the monsters who play in the light are far more terrifying than the ones hiding in the darkness.

”Loved every minute of it! It’s been awhile since I’ve read a good why choose and this was just what I needed. I loved being able to see just how Addy developed her relationships with each guy and how her gift affected them. It was literally like she was the perfect fit to their little family of misfits. I can’t wait to see what Bella has up her sleeve next!”
