As heir to the Carrington Steel empire, I've concluded that women only want one thing from me- money and prestige. Relationships for more than one night don't fit into my plan... Until I'm thrown into the role of protector for a woman who's on the wrong side of a mafia crime family who refused to allow their secret to come to light. Whatever the cost... I will use my power and connections to protect her, but who will keep her safe from the sinful control that I demand of my charge in return? Shattered is the first book in the Merciless Tycoon series, a Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance by International Best-Selling Author, Via Mari. It is a deliciously steamy romance with twists and turns, leaving you on the edge of your seat one moment and fanning yourself the next.
