God of Pain

From New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation comes a standalone grumpy-sunshine dark mafia romance that readers are calling “a masterpiece” and “dark and delicious.” Silent, brooding, and hostile, Creighton King hides a violent past behind his quiet beauty, while Annika Volkov—bright, lively, and the heart of every party—finds herself drawn to him despite their differences. As Annika tries to break through his walls, Creighton becomes captivated by her wilder side, leading to an obsession that threatens to pull her into his shadows. This unconventional, intense romance explores whether Annika’s light can save Creighton from his darkness, and though it can be read alone, it also connects to the beloved Legacy of Gods series, best experienced starting with God of Malice.
