This is a dark romance the first book of the series “Betrayal”.
Scarlet the daughter of a cruel Mafia Boss, is set up to inherit the drug empire. Axel is the connection making the distribution of the drugs possible.
And a rule Scarlet grew up with never mix business with pleasure. Don’t have nothing but business interactions with the ones you work with.
As soon as Axil puts hus his eyes on Scarlet he's not able to control his mouth and his pants. Scarlet denies him, but she's itching to get him too.

I enjoyed this reading a lot, if you love Sophie Lark's writing style this book is definitely for you.

The writing is amazing, flows well with a fast pace, and is a Dual POV between Scarlet and Alex, their prohibited relationship is damned to fail from the beginning or isn’t. The banter between the main characters was so good, the connection was so believable. I loved the characters Axel has a dark past and a mysterious presence. Scarlet is in some ways naive, blindly trusting her father until she starts questioning.

Although we are left off with a cliffhanger the way it left me wanting to know more, I need the other books omg!!! Dear Penelope Sky (blinks her puppy eyes) please.
