Breaking Storm: A Dark Chicago Underworld Romantic Suspense (Storm Duet 1) by Denise Baer

A street fighter and his childhood crush. A forced marriage. Both are hellbent on leaving the streets of Chicago, except the gang alliance won’t let them.

TEAGAN

College is my one-way ticket out of this city.

For years, I distanced myself from the Chicago underworld.

I attend college, work at a florist, and have a boyfriend who knows nothing about my life.

Now the leaders of two rival gangs block my escape. My father is forcing me to marry the son of his rival to forge an alliance. A childhood friend I haven’t seen since I was sixteen.

Joey’s a criminal, born from violence. Street wars run through his veins. I’ll do everything in my power to make this forced marriage fail.

JOEY

Once I find her, I’m fleeing the streets of Chicago.

Most people think of me as a thug. A useless street fighter called Storm.

I’d love nothing more than to get away from this life, but my old man has blackmailed me for as long as I can remember.

I’m forced to marry Teagan, my father’s biggest nemesis’s daughter, and childhood crush. All I have to do is bide my time to sever the hold my old man has on me and disappear forever.

Author’s Note: BREAKING STORM is book one of the STORM DUET. It’s a dark love story between Teagan and Joey. A romantic suspense, enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage, following one couple through disturbing incidences, getting acquainted, lots of steamy moments, and a blood-curdling race to escape. This book ends with a major CLIFFHANGER, so you need to read the books in order. Book two, CHASING STORM, is the conclusion. These books contain adult content and triggers. Reader discretion is advised.

A Scoundrel All the Way

About A Scoundrel All the Way:

What happens when the ton’s most infamous rogue meets the ton’s most infamous wallflower?

No man adores women more than Rowan Garrison, the newly minted, seventh Earl of Sexton …
Known as “The Scoundrel,” Rowan was the Crown’s top agent in France until his assignment ended abruptly thanks to his most recent contretemps—due to a few stolen kisses with the wife of a powerful general. When Rowan finds out that he’s just inherited an earldom from his late great-uncle, he gets some stern but valuable advice from his beleaguered mentor. “Run your estates, get married, and start making babies before another husband calls you out with pistols at dawn.” Hoping to relax before he settles into his new obligations, Rowan accepts an invitation to a house party in Middlesex from his friend, Viscount Thomas Latham. It would be among friends, far away from those scandals on the Continent. What could possibly go wrong?

No woman avoids men more than Lady Lucy Jeffreys…
Known as “unlucky Lucy,” after “tossing up her accounts” all over the ballroom floor at her very first ball, and then falling for and eloping with a criminal imposter, she is widowed practically before the ink is dry. Lucy vows to avoid another disaster and shuns ton events. Besides, she prefers spending her time rescuing animals and hopes to convince her grandfather to invest in an animal sanctuary—her latest idea. But when her best friend, Lady Katie Latham, invites Lucy to spend Christmastide at her brother Thomas’s estate, Lucy agrees, thinking it would be nice to spend the holiday among friends. Besides, what could go wrong?

With the help of a few Wicked Widows and a little Christmas magic, Lucy and Rowan find out that the last thing they want might be the one thing they need most of all.
