Ruthless by Celeste Granger

There’s a war going on. The death of one mafia Don could mean the inevitable rise of another in the fight to fully control Sin City. In the midst of the fighting, that has spanned the generations, love blooms. Gemologist, Chloe Russell-Knowles is focused on building her business. She is a Black woman in a field where there are few that look like her and Chloe is determined to make her mark, despite the odds. A relationship is the last thing on her mind. Chloe had her share of struggle love. She wasn’t interested in that anymore. Colton St. Clair is fully invested in the family business. He’s rarely seen out front though, preferring to work in the background, making moves without making noise. Colton is seen as the quiet one amongst the St. Clair men. He is not to be underestimated though. Silence can be deadly and doesn’t stop Colton from pursuing what he desires. The first time they saw each other, it was in passing. Colton’s interest was piqued, as was Chloe’s, but circumstances kept the two from exploring their curiosities. When the opportunity of a second encounter with the beautiful Chloe presents itself, Colton proves he goes after what he wants.
