Flame & Fraud by A.M. Kore
There was something to be said about a killer outfit, and you’d never met a sundress you didn’t like — not only did the floral patterns you often preferred have such a demure and classic quality to them, but they also did a fantastic job at hiding blood splatters…

With your ruffles and pastels, you aren’t what typically comes to mind when most think of thievery and hacking, which just so happens to be your under-the-table night job in Tenebra City. Luckily, your deceptive appearance has worked to your advantage thus far, and though you wouldn’t have turned to this shady life if not for the enormous debt keeping you caged, you’re starting to see the light at the end of the Sapphire District. You’d managed to pick up a few useful tricks over the years, and with your perfect track record, you were finally getting ready to buy your freedom and plan your retirement.

Until you meet Cadmus Etoirir.

Known for their jewelry business, the Etoirirs are one of the most prominent and powerful families in Tenebra City. As the oldest of the triplets, Cadmus has been training his entire life to inherit the family business… though gems and gold are only the tip of the bonfire.

Your meeting is not unexpected, although you never imagined how far the surly dragon would lead you through the gates of Tenebra City’s mafia underworld. An Alpha and control freak in every sense of the word, Cadmus is just as unwilling to let go of his perfect track record as you are. More than just sparks fly, and as you dance with the devil himself, you can’t help but think something’s gotta give…

Cadmus may have just met his match in you, but when he’s your last chance at finally severing the ties tethering you to the shadowy figure you’re indebted to just as you’re the key to guaranteeing his inheritance, you both become entangled in a web spun by fate itself.

And when you accidentally end up with his mating mark on your neck… those strings of fate only seem to wrap tighter and tighter.

Flame & Fraud is an immersive fated mates dragon mafia boss monster romance told in second-person POV where YOU step into the story as the main character. It contains a surly dragon mafia boss, underworld politics, and fiery spice that all culminate in a guaranteed Happily Ever After.

As the third full-length book in the Tenebra City Series, it can be read on its own, but is better enjoyed after reading Quiver & Quill (the first book in the Tenebra City Series), Grinch & Guile (a Tenebra City Series novella), and/or Sin & Spell (the second book in the Tenebra City Series).
