Taking Denver (The Luxe Universe #1)| Kayla King

Signed Paperback

Synopsis 
Denver
My dad used to say that weakness is a bullet. He was right—strength is the only option when you’re raised amongst criminals and broken promises. But when I’m accused of murdering my cheating husband, even I know I need more than strength. I need the only person powerful enough to protect me. I need Ranger Luxe.
Ranger is cruel. Wicked. Irresistible. He’s the devil in a designer suit and I’d be a fool to ask for his help. But he lures me in with offers of freedom and power—if I promise to be his.

Ranger
I’m not a good man. A good man would offer her freedom without the strings attached. A good man would let her walk away. I’ll do neither because Denver is mine. She belongs in my house. In my bed. As my wife.
I’m the King of the San Francisco underworld, and I’ll make her my queen.

Ethan
I never meant to fall in love. But Denver’s darkness called out to mine and released a part of me long hidden from the world.
Now I’m in too deep to walk away. She deserves a better life, and I’ll give it to her. Even if it means going up against the most powerful man in San Francisco.
