Aleatha Romig

"With heart-pounding twists and sensual chemistry, this stand-alone is my favorite Aleatha Romig book yet!" ~ Pam Godwin, NY Times, WSJ, and USA Today bestselling author

They say the price of freedom is learning that you have nothing left to lose.

There was a time when I had it all. Money. Power. Love. And in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Along the road to my new life, I have a chance meeting with Cecilia Abernathy. Born to greatness, this American princess is out of my league. That doesn’t mean I don’t see her for the woman she is behind the headlines. In a rare glimpse I see not only her outward beauty but her inner determination. I’m moved by her in ways I don’t allow myself to ponder.

Time passes and I’m moving forward, persevering beyond my loss, and making a new name for myself. And then I’m given an assignment.

One job.
One quest.

If I succeed, my kingdom will be at hand.
If I fail, there will be no more chances.

Men like me aren’t saviors, and that isn’t my assignment. My mission is to find the daughter of one of the most powerful men in New York, in the country, and maybe the world. Find her and deliver her to her family’s rival.

Cecilia Abernathy has been kidnapped. All I have to do is exchange her current hell for another. And then I can walk away and claim my reward.

Has my taste of freedom made me willing to sell my soul for a kingdom?

Find out the answer in KINGDOM COME, a dangerous forced-proximity stand-alone romance by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

KINGDOM come

According to the correspondence I had with the auction site, Cecilia wouldn’t be given to the highest bidder for forty-eight hours post–closing bid. As I drove my rental car toward South Boston, I reminded myself that I had time to spare. 


I’d been hired by Maxwell Tiller. If I handed Cecilia over, I’d get a payday and the promise of more. If I took her to her family, she’d be safe and I’d be a wanted man. No matter my decision, I couldn’t deny the sense of urgency pushing me forward. 


I had picked up two burner phones in an airport shop. I’d be giving Josie a call at The Wasteland later. I’d also secured multiple remote hideouts for the next week in the wilderness of New Hampshire. It was better than staying in Boston while I figured out the next move. 


The malware pinpointed the location where the email originated. That didn’t mean it was where Cecilia was being held. Hell, the email could have been sent from a Starbucks.
