No Promises, No Lies

Devils & Darlings, Book 1

I took her to get revenge, but now I want so much more.

Rory Kostalova was never part of the plan. Kidnapping the Russian mafia princess was a move for control, a way to gain the upper hand in a brutal war. She was meant to break, to bend to my will like everyone else.

But Rory is different—strong, fiery, untouchable.

What started as a way to get even turns into something darker, something neither of us can control. She stirs the chaos inside me, makes me crave her in ways I shouldn't.

I took her freedom to punish her family, but now she's the one I can't let go. To save her, I'll have to break every rule, cross every line.

I'll be the one to set her free—even if it destroys me.

No Promises, No Lies is a standalone crossover mafia hockey romance with dark themes and spice. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Aiden & Rory are goals

I read this book first on a whim last summer. I noticed it was the authors debut book & wanted to give it a shot. I am so happy that I did! This is the perfection combo of hockey//mafia dark romance. It was one of my top 10 reads of 2025, so when the audio came out I knew I had to have it. The narrators did an amazing job with bringing this story to life.

Everything

Loved this book. A must read. It had a little bit of everything you could want.
