Bound In Secrets

Only Death can separate your vine from the bloody yellow rose of the Death Kings Family.
I grew up with the criminal underground's most notorious mercenary guild in Texas and Colorado, the Death Kings. My uncle is one of the founding members known as the Gator King. Now, I follow in his former footsteps, leading my crew with his backing.
To my family, my nickname is Seraphim, but in my kingdom, I'm the Viper King.
The boys who swore they would eternally be by my side to protect me are back in town after abandoning me for over a decade. They are attempting to become like the Death Kings' team, C.H.A.O.S., who runs Palomino Bay. That's not happening because Grêle is my stronghold. They are under the notion that I am some damsel who needs their protection. They should worry about themselves, because I'm the wicked king who controls this state.
They don't know my secret, but I know theirs...
This is Why Choose with a badass FMC who would kill even the men she loves to stay atop her throne as head of the Seraphim Serpents Mafia. The MMC is a shaman funeral director who is the leader of the mercenary team Tempest. His second in command is a forensic scientist by day. The sniper stripper runs a strip club. Then there is the tech you loved to hate in C.H.A.O.S. This is a standalone, but in the same world as C.H.A.O.S., where a few characters are first introduced.
