The Sinner's Bride (Moss Empire #1)

Shiloh Bird spent her life trying to escape the underworld. She became a lawyer, built a normal life, and distanced herself from the sins of her father’s empire.

But in this world, blood is never forgotten. And when her father loses everything, his debt is paid with her.

Forced into a marriage with Jagger Moss—the ruthless heir to the most powerful crime family in Rainhill Falls—Shiloh is thrust back into the life she swore she’d never return to. Jagger is cold, possessive, and utterly in control, determined to mold her into the perfect Moss wife.

But Shiloh isn’t as breakable as he thinks.

And neither is Maddox.

Jagger’s most trusted enforcer, his right-hand man, his brother in arms. Maddox is supposed to protect her, supposed to watch her. He is not supposed to want her.

In this game—no one gives up their crown without a fight.

The Sinner’s Bride is a dark, seductive tale of power, loyalty, and betrayal—where love is a risk, survival is never guaranteed, and the most dangerous men never stay locked away forever.
