Marchesi Empire Series

From USA Today best-selling author Cora Kenborn comes the Marchesi Empire, a forbidden enemies-to-lovers dark mafia romance duet.

Never flirt with fire....

Eight weeks ago, Johnny Malone showed up at my office, flipping a playing card between his fingers like I was wasting his time. Me. The one with the PhD. The one a self-confessed arsonist came to for help in controlling his "urges". The one he visits every week and undresses with his eyes.

Lethal dark eyes that drown me in fiery lust and constant lies.

But the deeper I sink, the more those ethical lines blur, and his charm overshadows his inner demons.

Ones with no family, no friends, and no past.

Just a standing Tuesday appointment.

He's hiding from something.

Or someone....

And I intend to find out.

I've always had strict rules about men: No liars. No patients. No criminals. In one afternoon, I broke all three.

They say you should never play with fire....

Now I know why.

Torched Spades is book one in the Marchesi Empire Duet. The conclusion, Tortured Hearts, will release in late 2022.
