★★★★★ "Hell to the yes!!!" -Boys in Books are Better, Goodreads Review-
Murphy is the born leader of the O'Shea family, one of four families in a conglomerate of traffickers. They make their living stealing women and selling them to new masters…masters among which, he is a king. When he acquires a new slave meant to be his plaything, he finds he has no interest in her easy submission. He wants a challenge. He wants a woman who will stand by his side and make him stronger. He doesn't want a pet…he wants a wife.
Stella is the epitome of an independent woman. She's tough, single, and runs her own business. On a chance encounter, she meets Murphy, and their instant physical chemistry is undeniable. A one-night stand turns into a long-distance affair of the heart, except Stella doesn't know the real Murphy O'Shea. She's falling for him, but she doesn't know he's a ruthless criminal.
Murphy is meant to have an arranged marriage in five years, only now he's met Stella. He wants her…and he's going to take her.
He's the king of masters and she'll be made his reluctant queen.

Overall Opinion :
OMG. I have been crazily waiting for this book ever since I read the four families trilogy! Murphy and Stella have been on my radar for ages and am so glad that I got to read them! This book is a freaking masterpiece!
Stella is one the best heroines ever because she fights back! She is sassy and that is the one thing Murphy loves about her even though she puts one hell of a fight with him. She hates him but never stops loving him all the while he is destroying her whole world. I am just so addicted to this world by this author! I really hope that we will get more books by this author from this world because I am loving it!
I am screaming at you all to read this book. It's one hell of a dark romance standalone with themes that might make a few people uncomfortable but trust me when I say that it’s pretty amazing.
