God of Pain

Rina Kent

Book 2 of Legacy of Gods

God of Pain follows Annika Volkov, a sheltered mafia princess, and Creighton King, a silent and brooding underground fighter who has spent his life burying a violent past. Their opposites-attract dynamic explodes into an obsessive, dangerous connection as Annika tries to break through Creighton's walls while his secrets threaten to consume them both. Set in the same dark, elite-crime-family world as the rest of the series, it blends college-age drama, mafia politics, and a slow unraveling of childhood trauma. Though part of a series, it is written to be read as a standalone.
