In this world, love isn’t soft...it’s dangerous. From ruthless widows and cunning rivals to criminal dynasties and forbidden liaisons, this universe is filled with women who would rather rule in hell than serve anywhere else. Each book in this interconnected series of dark sapphic romance standalones pulls you into a web of obsession, power, and blood-deep secrets.

If you love:

…then you’re in the right place.

The Pretty When Vicious world is currently a 3-book interconnected standalone series set in Atlanta, Georgia. Each book can be enjoyed separately, but you'll see characters from other books pop up in each. They may be more enjoyable when read in order as you follow each couple on their journey.

The only thing more dangerous than her enemies is the woman protecting her.

Cicily “Cici” Darling has built her reputation on control, precision, and doing whatever it takes to protect her family’s empire. But when her newest assignment puts her face-to-face with a woman tied to dangerous secrets and powerful enemies, walking away is no longer an option.

Lailene Watson has spent years escaping the shadows of her family’s past, but some debts can’t stay buried forever. With danger closing in, the only person she can trust is the woman whose entire life is built around never getting attached.

Secrets, loyalty, and desire collide where the only thing more dangerous than Lailene’s enemies is the woman protecting her, and falling in love might be the biggest risk of all.

In a world ruled by men, they chose each other.

Valentina Moretti was born to rule. As the heir to one of Atlanta’s most powerful crime dynasties, her cold-as-ice demeanor hides an inner fire just waiting to burn. Behind her family’s polished empire of luxury car dealerships lies a world built on blood money, absolute loyalty, and silence.

Nicolette “Nico” Romano was born to rebel. Fiercely independent, dangerously bold, and tired of being overlooked, she’s one spark away from igniting a war inside her own family’s empire of black-market real estate, underground gambling, and backroom deals.

Once, stolen kisses nearly ruined them. Now they’re back in Atlanta a little older and a lot more dangerous than ever. When a fragile truce forces them to work together on a project meant to strengthen their families’ ties, old tension turns explosive. Buried secrets resurface, loyalties are tested, and behind closed doors, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

Valentina is cold with everyone except Nico.
Nico is reckless with everyone except Valentina.

But in a city ruled by power, choosing each other could mean a war both empires might not survive.

Spite built her armor. Desire might be her downfall.

Melissa DuBois
I despised Dante Kincaid. Arrogant. Reckless. Stupid enough to marry me. Now he’s dead, and freedom is within reach—until his twin walks in with the same perfect face and a darker, sharper fire that fuels my desire like no one before.

Dominique Kincaid
I swore I wouldn’t come back until I was ready, but Dante’s disappearance drags me home—to a family I hate and a war I never asked for. If I’m going down, I’m taking everyone with me. Starting with the beautifully dangerous wife my brother left behind.
