BLURB

My d*ck never got me in half as much trouble as my heart... We were high school sweethearts. I was head over heels for her and no one could tell me we weren’t going to last forever. College? Going pro? My family’s money? None of it mattered. She was all I needed.
Then she ripped my heart out. But I’m not going to let that happen again.
She’s back. Invading my life and acting like she was the wronged one. The pain is still there, but I can’t keep my eyes off her. I can’t stop thinking about her and how much was left unsaid between us. Being this close is making me question everything I thought I knew about her.
This time everything will be on my terms. Everything…

Ever since book one in the Kings of Rittenhouse series, Emmett and Avery's story was the one I wanted to be told.  I could just sense something so special about the love that these two shared and I just needed to know what happened between them.
And let me tell you......this story was absolutely worth the wait!!  Maya Hughes came up with a brilliant and wonderful tale for Emmett and Avery, and I loved it more than I can say.  
They are forced to be around one another during a summer trip with their mutual friends, and neither of them are excited about it.  It brings up all the old wounds between them (Emmett doesn't know that truth about what kept them apart and why Avery broke his heart)....but it also highlights the feelings and chemistry between them that never went away.  These two are like magnets to one another, and once they have it out and give into that connection that keeps pulling them together - whoa!  Emmett and Avery's reunion was beyond hot!!
Of course, life can't be easy for them, as there is a lot of hurt and trust issues that they need to work through....and the things that Avery wants to keep hidden, find a way to the surface to cause even more problems.  But, if Emmett loves Avery, he will find a way to make things work and not let the issues of the past dictate their future.
Ruthless King has already found its way onto my favorites list of 2019, as it's just one of those stories I know I won't forget.  Emmett and Avery's romance is truly special, and I hope that everyone else falls in love with them like I have.  
READ AN EXCERPT OF RUTHLESS KING!

I pulled the door open, ready for the fun to begin. It was going to be a kickass summer.
“I told my parents no way was I missing out on our epic last summer, so here I am.” I stood with my arms wide open and a huge smile on my face.
The ping pong ball Ford had in his hand fell to the floor, bouncing a few times before rolling under the table. Everyone was frozen in place, not a smile or a hug from anyone. Are they seriously still pissed?
“Don’t all look so happy to see me.” I dropped my arms and strode closer to the party setup.
“Okay guys, I think you’re going to love these. We were going for a cotton candy flavor.” Mak came out from what must have been the kitchen and skidded to a halt. The smile on her face sank immediately when she saw me.
I bit back a curse. I knew she hated me, but we needed to get past it. My past with Avery shouldn’t tarnish what Declan had with Mak. I’d just put Avery out of my mind for the summer, no big deal. It wasn’t just Mak coming out of the kitchen, though, and whoever was behind her stopped short and let out a yelp.
“Jesus, Mak, you almost made me drop the tray.”
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I would have known that voice anywhere. Stepping out from behind Mak and fumbling with a tray of shots balanced on her hand was the last person I’d expected to see there. Okay, maybe not the last, but if the Pope had strolled out, I would have been less shocked. My gaze snapped to Avery’s.
“What the hell are you doing here?” we shouted at the same time, staring wide-eyed at one another. I’d only been gone for a few weeks and they were already inviting her along to take my spot?
“Oh shit.”
