Fog City

There are rules that make being Fog City’s Prince of Killers bearable.

The rules Hawes Madigan lives by.

Soon, he’ll be king—of an organization of assassins—and the crown has never felt heavier. Until the mysterious Dante Perry swaggers into his life.

No collateral damage.

Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one too.

But there’s more than meets the eye beneath those loose limbs and casual confidence.

He also carries a concealed weapon, a private investigator’s license, and a message for the prince—someone inside Hawes’s organization is out to kill the future king.

No unvetted targets.

In the chaos that follows the timely warning, Hawes comes to depend on Dante.

On his skills as an investigator, on the steadiness he offers, and on their moments alone when Hawes lets Dante take control.

As alliances are tested and traitors exposed, Hawes needs Dante at his back... and in his bed. But if the PI ever learns Hawes’s darkest secret, it’s not heartbreak he’ll have to worry about—but a bullet to the brain instead.

There’s no shortage of twists and turns in this MM romantic suspense trilogy from Layla Reyne. Prince of Killers is book one of three. Fair warning: buckle up, cliffhangers ahead!

Christopher Perri had only one goal: vengeance for his murdered partner.

Playing Dante Perry to infiltrate the Madigan organization wasn’t easy.

Trying not to fall for the assassin at the head of the table is impossible... and completely off-limits once Chris's cover is blown.

Mission fail.

Exposure couldn't come at a worse time.

Chris suspects the person who killed his partner is behind the coup against Hawes.

Working with the king benefits them both, but his employer has other ideas. Dismantling criminal organizations is what Chris does best, and his boss expects the King Slayer to deliver.

Game over.

But Hawes is taking the Madigans in a new direction, one Chris can get behind.

The two men form a shaky alliance strengthened by the irresistible attraction between them... until Chris learns who killed his partner.

Once he knows the truth, the slayer is unleashed—and Chris will stop at nothing to destroy those who betrayed him, including the king who stole his heart.

Twists and turns--and cliffhangers--continue in book two of the Fog City Trilogy. Read at your own risk!

Assassin Hawes Madigan wants to do right by everyone who’s counting on him.

If he wants to save both his soul and his empire, Hawes must make an impossible decision.

Legends fall.

Christopher Perri is used to being the inside man, the one undercover.

His mission shifted when he found something that's been missing for ten long years—a home.

Now he's on the outside, marshaling forces in support of the man and the ring of assassins he was supposed to take down… and praying for a miracle.

And legacies were made to be rewritten.

As Hawes and Chris make a dangerous play for control, the lines between allies and traitors blur.

Someone is willing to kill to protect the old ways.

Trusting the wrong person could destroy the Madigan legacy.

But not trusting anyone, or each other, could mean lights out on their love and lives forever.

The King and King Slayer fight together in this thrilling conclusion to the Fog City Trilogy!

Love is risky business when you’re an assassin.

Helena Madigan has lost loved ones to the family business before. Now that she’s in charge, she’s determined never to risk her heart again.

Celia Perri likes to be helpful.

She just wants to run the family auto shop, raise her kids, and help her brother plan his wedding.

But when a drive-by shooting targets the garage, Celia’s simple life is upended.

Now ensconced within the Madigan family, there’s no escaping Helena, the blonde bombshell she’s been crushing on for months.

It could cost her everything.

As the Madigans investigate, Celia witnesses their love and loyalty up close.

And their business.

Instead of being afraid, she sees a place for herself among them. She could be a confidant and caregiver—if only Helena would stop pushing her away. If only she’d admit their mutual attraction might lead to more.

And if only someone would stop shooting at them long enough to find out.
