No indiscriminate killing. No collateral damage. No
unvetted targets.
These are the rules Hawes Madigan lives by. Rules that make
being Fog City’s Prince of Killers bearable. 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.
Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one
too, all loose-limbed and casually confident. 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.
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, Hawes is sure to get a knife to
the heart—and a bullet to the brain—instead.
There’s no shortage of twists and turns in this new romantic
suspense trilogy from Layla Reyne. Prince of Killers is book one of three. Fair
warning: buckle up, cliffhangers ahead!
Praise for Prince of Killers:
“Layla Reyne is an auto-buy author for me. She writes it; I
devour it. Prince of Killers is an amazing start to a new series. It’s
fast-paced and intriguing with the perfect balance of action, passion, and plot
twists I’ve come to expect from her books. Layla never disappoints, and I can’t
wait to see what happens next in her Fog City series.” – Aimee Nicole Walker, Bestselling author of
the Curl Up and Dye Mysteries
“Prince of Killers gives us everything we adore about
Layla’s writing: bullets, boys, and betrayal. From the very first page, Hawes
and Dante have sexual tension that sparks off the page. They don’t trust each
other, but they have to work together to uncover a traitor in their midst. The
result is a steamy dance of push and pull that left me itching for more. I’m
excited to recommend Layla Reyne’s Prince of Killers and see what’s next in her
new Fog City series!” – Lucy Lennox, Bestselling author of the Made Marian and
Forever Wilde series.
"This book made me reach for the 'Oh Sh*t' handle every
time I picked it up." –Erin McLellan, author of the Farm College series.
Hair and double denim. My favourite things! –Allison Temple,
author of The Pick-Up and Top Shelf
“I bloody loved it!” –Lily Morton, Bestselling author of the
Mixed Messages series
"Layla Reyne redefined what a family of assassins looks
like with "Prince of Killers." The "Fog City" series kicks
off with some mind-blowing twists and I can't wait to see what happens
next." - Jeff Adams, Big Gay Fiction Podcast
"PRINCE OF KILLERS is a suspenseful ride through the
streets of San Francisco, and the ins and out of a tight-knit crime family. I
couldn't stop reading, and when I hit the end, I wanted the next book
immediately!" - Hailey Turner, author of the bestselling Soulbound series
and the Metahuman Files series.
Teaser 1:
“I don’t want to be in control.” No decisions to make, no
kingdom to rule, no bad guys to sort from the good. Tonight, freedom was the
most settling thought there was, especially if it involved the man whose body
was pressed alongside his.
“Do you trust me?” Dante said.
Hawes half nodded, half nuzzled Dante’s palm.
“Give it to me, then.”
Hawes’s eyes popped open, and an unexpected laugh bubbled
out of him. “I’m not giving you control of my family’s empire.”
One corner of Dante’s mouth turned up in a sexy smirk. “I
don’t want that either.” With his arm around Hawes’s waist, he shifted them so
they were in front of the ladder, Hawes’s back against the rungs, Dante’s body
blanketing his. The pressure, front and back, massaged away any lingering
soreness from Ray’s hit last night. Not that Hawes would care when Dante’s
long, strong fingers were skirting up the side of his face and into his hair,
threading through the strands and cradling his scalp.
Hawes couldn’t look away, couldn’t stop his hands from curling
into Dante’s gray tank and hauling him closer. “Please.”
“I want control of you.” Dante’s soft lips brushed the sharp
right hinge of Hawes’s jaw. “Let me help you.” He moved to the other side. “Let
me make you forget for a while.” Then to the crease at the bottom of Hawes’s
chin. “Let go for me.”
Yes.

● Do
you listen to audiobooks? If so, are there any you’d recommend?
Yes! One of my day jobs is as a legal resource editor, and I
always have an audiobook playing when I’m doing that work. The Tales of Verania
series by TJ Klune, narrated by Michael Lesley, is an absolute treasure.
● What
are your five favorite words?
I just need one:
Fuck, especially the way Tristan James says it narrating audiobooks ;)
● Do
you have a favorite cover from one of your books?
This one! Cate Ashwood who did all the Fog City covers sent
me the cover concept for Prince of Killers first, and I screamed “Holy Shit!”
so loudly that my dogs startled. And I kept repeating “Holy Shit” for like the
next week. She deserves so much credit, as does Wander Aguiar for the gorgeous
photos, and Patrick Sean (the model) for just being that damn gorgeous.
