Kingmakers: Year One

*Kingmakers: Year One* by Sophie Lark is a dark college mafia romance that drops you into a ruthless university where power is taught like a subject—and loyalty can cost you everything. If you love high-stakes tension, morally grey characters, and a fast, addictive pace, this one is hard to put down.

Leo has always been steady, devoted, and certain about one thing: Anna matters most. When she enters Kingmakers, he follows, stepping behind its guarded walls and into a world shaped by influence, intimidation, and old family debts. As Leo tries to hold onto the girl he’s always loved, a dangerous rival with Bratva ties sets his sights on taking Anna—and breaking Leo in the process.

Perfect for readers who enjoy forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, mafia family intrigue, suspense, and an elite campus setting with sharp edges.
