How Underground Kings Began
Aurora Rose Reynolds, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, launched the Underground Kings series in 2014 as a spin-off from her wildly popular Until series. Inspired by her love for alpha male heroes and the emotional depth of romance, Reynolds crafted Underground Kings to explore darker, more suspenseful narratives while keeping love at the core. Her real-life muse—her alpha male husband—infuses the series with raw passion and authenticity, making every hero irresistibly compelling.
The Heart of Underground Kings
The series kicks off with Assumption, where Kenton Mayson, a tough security expert, misjudges Autumn, a nurse with a hidden past, leading to a fiery romance amidst danger. Obligation follows Kai, a Samoan hero bound by duty, and Myla, whose marriage of convenience blooms into deep love against a backdrop of threats. Distraction introduces Sven, a club owner, and Maggie, a sassy heroine seeking justice, whose chemistry ignites in a war-torn Vegas underworld. The series wraps with Infatuation, a novella co-written with Rochelle Paige, where hacker Justin falls hard for pregnant Aubrey, blending insta-love with protective alpha vibes.
Reynolds’ signature style shines through in themes of loyalty, redemption, and love’s transformative power. The Las Vegas setting adds a gritty edge, with shady deals and high-stakes drama amplifying the romance. Strong female leads, like Maggie’s fierce devotion or Autumn’s resilience, balance the over-the-top alpha males, creating dynamic, relatable couples. Fans rave about the seamless blend of suspense, humor, and steamy scenes, all wrapped in Reynolds’ effortless, uplifting prose.
