Nathan “Babe” Leopold was a socially awkward genius who used arrogance as a shield. He cultivated a philosophy of absolute selfishness cherry-picked from his reading of Nietzsche and indulged himself with vivid sexual fantasies about kings and slaves.

Richard “Dickie” Loeb was the brightest of the bright young things, a social butterfly as fragile as glass inside, hiding his insecurities behind a dazzling smile and a mouthful of lies. He found escape in thrilling tales and fantasies of crime.

They were two brilliant and privileged boys, each harboring secrets it would have been social suicide to reveal in their 1920s world.

When Babe met Dickie, it was like his favorite fantasy had stepped out of his dreams into real life.

When Dickie met Babe, he thought he had found the accomplice who would help make his criminal dreams come true.

Dickie was willing to give Babe what he wanted, if Babe would give him what he wanted. Quid pro quo. Until Dickie wanted something more, leaving Babe desperate and willing to do anything to hold onto his dream. Even if it led down a dark path to the Crime of the Century and infamy as the thrill killers Leopold and Loeb.

Pucking with the Enemy book 2 in the Devlin Mafia. A True Enemies to lovers story.

NOW AVAILABLE ON KU ➤ https://amzn.to/43yiJZJ

Some people are born into war. I was born into the lie that started one. A year locked away. A family built on corruption. A brother who let me take the fall. I came back to Stormsend for one reason.
Destruction.
Xaden Devlin wants me dead. He has every reason, every opportunity and zero hesitation. So why am I still breathing?
That question has one answer and it terrifies me more than his hands around my throat ever could. Because somewhere between the threats, the darkness and the secrets neither of us can outrun…
He chose me.
And now we are standing on opposite sides of a war that will destroy us both, carrying a secret that changes everything, surrounded by enemies wearing the faces of people we once trusted.
One of us won’t survive this. I’m starting to think it might be me.
“Half of what you hear… All of what you see… Watch carefully, Tink.”

🖤
