I move in the shadow of death. I’m the villain. The monster everyone fears.
I’ve been born into a life of depravity and ruthlessness. It’s kill or be killed.
Until her…
The moment she smiles at me, my world changes.
I keep coming back. Watching her brings me stolen moments of peace.
Until I can’t stay away…
She doesn’t know who I am, that she’s flirting with death.
Slowly we fall deeper until she loves the lies I’ve told her.
The danger that follows me, creeps closer and the façade I’ve built comes crashing down around us.
And lovers turn to enemies.
But there’s no going back for me.
I want her. I will have her.
She doesn’t have a choice.

Ruthless Saints is the third book in the St. Monarch’s Academy series written by author Michelle Heard. It tells the story of Carson Koslov and Hailey Welsh and can be read as a standalone mafia romance. Even though this is true, I recommend reading the other books in the St. Monarch’s Academy world as they’re all so captivating!
We were initially introduced to Carson in the first book, Merciless Saints, and I’ve been looking forward to reading his book ever since! Carson graduated from St. Monarch’s academy and is currently living in Switzerland as a contracted assassin. He’s a bit of a recluse, and he prefers to work alone.
Hailey is an adventurous backpacker passing through Switzerland when she meets Carson. Their chemistry was instant, and she brightened up his dark world. However, she’s not a part of the mafia, which is a major issue for Carson. Will Carson let her go or try to make her understand and accept the world he lives in?
Ruthless Saints is another captivating storyline, and I was hooked from the very first page. I can’t wait to read Demitri Vetrov’s story, Tears of Betrayal, which is the next book in the St. Monarch’s Academy world.

Wow! Absolutely amazing!
Merciless Saints is the first book in the St. Monarch’s Academy series written by author Michelle Heard. Each book in the series tells the story of a different couple and can be read as a standalone enemies-to-lovers romance. Merciless Saints tells the story of Winter Hemsley and Damien Vetrov, and I literally devoured it!
Winter and Damien are from rival crime families, and they both attend St. Monarch’s Academy. The school teaches the students the skills needed to succeed in the crime world. However, one important rule is that the school is considered neutral ground. Even though Winter and Damien are rivals, she finds herself in a dangerous situation and is forced to decide if she can trust Damien.
Merciless Saints is an exciting page-turner, and I was hooked from the very first page. The storyline was captivating, unique, and steamy! Oh, and let me tell you, Damien was the perfect alpha male, and he seriously made my knees weak!
I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
