  Summoned to Gravesend, Scotland Yard Inspector Henry Field is shocked to discover the body of a man he interviewed only days earlier.

  "You can't be a queen in a crumbled kingdom..." 
  Charlie: Even as Teddy’s child grows in my belly, I feel myself locked in the jaws of grief I can’t escape. But I can’t allow my emotions to distract me. 
  A very real threat lurks in the shadows, eagerly waiting for me to let my guard down for even an instant. Cameron is out there somewhere—and it’s only a matter of time before he finds me. 
  Lucas vowed to protect me, yet with each fluttering kick I feel, I’m reminded that I’m more vulnerable than ever. 
  Lucas: Charlie was a liability to the family. But as the right hand to the mafia king, it wasn’t my job to question such things. 
  I trusted Teddy and gave him the loyalty and respect he deserved. He ordered me to keep her safe, and that’s what I did. 
  I never meant to fall for her, but with him gone, I will honor my word by keeping Charlie and his unborn child safe... no matter what it takes. 
  NOTE: Listener discretion is advised. This book contains mature content and themes some may find offensive, distressing and a potential trigger. Recommended for 18+. 
  The Savage One is book three in the Hale Mafia Series. It is NOT a stand-alone. For the full story and experience, The Devious King and The Vengeful Queen should be listened to first.
