Some say: Ask for forgiveness, never permission.
Kage asks for neither.
Especially when he gets his hands on me.
Suffer in Silence, the first must-read story in The Malvagio Mafia Duet filled with all things dark and dangerous from USA Today bestselling author Kelsey Clayton, is available now!

Monsters donโt hide in dark alleys.
They lurk in plain sight, clawing into your soul with cordial smiles.
They wear Armani, they drive Cadillacs, they attend fundraising balls…
And they rule the city with a merciless fist.
The Familia is a mystery to most,
and sitting on itโs throne is Kage Malvagio.
Vile.
Sadistic.
Painstakingly beautiful.
Some say: Ask for forgiveness, never permission.
Kage asks for neither.
Especially when he gets his hands on me.
I should hate him.
I should run at the first chance I get.
But how could the devil be so bad when he looks at me like that?

Excerpt
The whiskey swirls around in the cup as I sit at my desk. Itโs well past three in the morning but my mind is wide awake. The knowledge of the call I have to make sits heavy on my chest, making it hard to breathe.ย
I wanted to leave her out of this, not only for me but for Silas. If he knew what Iโm about to do, heโd kill me himselfโ his relationship with my father be damned. He was right when he told me there is no part of her that belongs in this world.ย
Sheโs too innocent.
Too perfect.
Too good to be tainted by all of this.
And yet I have no choice but to drag her into itโkicking and screaming, Iโm sure.
There used to be a time when I would imagine another life for myself. One where I wasnโt the leader of one of the most powerful organizations in the world. One where a family was in the cards for me. One where she wasnโt the most forbidden thing in my life.ย
I used to close my eyes and live in that false reality for as long as I could. But it was exactly that.ย
A daydream.
An imagination.
An impossible outcome for how my life will go.
And after I do this, Iโm only sealing that fate. But as much as it pains me to admit, Nico was right. This is our only option at this point. I will not lose everything my father worked so hard to achieve.ย
I grab my phone and down the rest of the glass as I dial the number. It rings three times before a voice comes through the other side. Sleep laces Beniโs tone as I pull him out of a peaceful slumber.ย
โBoss?โ he asks.ย
Closing my eyes, I utter the words and kick into action a plan Iโd hoped would always be theoretical. โExecute Plan S. Let me know when itโs done.โ
Lita’s Book Review: 4.5 Stars
Suffer in Silence: A Dark Mafia Romance ( Malvagio Mafia Duet Book 1) by Kelsey Clayton. This was my first time reading this author and boy oh boy. I am so looking forward to book 2. I was almost finished with this story before I realized it. Saxon ends up getting kidnapped by Kage. He is the Dom of the Familia. He has known Saxon due to her grandfather who handles the property for the Familia.ย When the grandfather dies unexpectedly and the property went to Saxon’s father, the kidnapping plan was a last resort. Kage has had an eye on Saxon for quite sometime but she was off limits. When he ends up crossing the line their relationship is as volatile as it gets. It was like a 5 alarm fire. The story was good and interesting. Kage trying to get what is his from Saxon’s father didn’t go as planned. Quite the cat and mouse.. Kept my attention from the beginning and the ending blew my mind. The sex was definitely hot and steamy. I am so excited for the next book and I am even more excited I will not have to wait long. When I get some free time I will be reading more books by this author. This was a 4.5 star read for me.

Tanya’s rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
4.5 Stars
Suffer in Silence is the first book that I have read by this author and is the first book in a Mafia world romance. This is Kage Malvagio and Saxon Forbes story.
Oh dear god the cliffhanger in this one! Where is book 2? I need it NOW!
Maybe I shouldnโt start with the ending of this book! But it hit a resonance that I canโt stop thinking about.
Kelsey Clayton is a new to me author whom I will be reading more of her books! Of course starting with book 2. The next book will be out in a few weeks so at least the wait isnโt too long.
Saxon first sees Kage at the club where she is celebrating her birthday. But Kage has known about her for a long time.
Donโt get on the bad side of Kage. He is a killer. Fortunately for Saxon he canโt seem to get her out of his system.
I really enjoyed this book. It is dark so it may have some triggers for some. I am repeating this but the cliffhanger is a doozy!
