I thought I knew evil. I thought I knew love. But here, locked within the rotting walls of an abandoned manor, something much darker unfurls-something that makes my previous life seem like a childhood fairy tale. Morgan, Rio, Xavier. Each one a jagged puzzle piece that somehow fits perfectly into my shattered life. Rossi. The man I can't figure out, yet the one who holds the key to the riddle that surrounds us all. In this house, every whisper becomes a scream, every touch leaves a burn. We share secrets, tangled sheets, and rituals too dangerous to utter aloud. When Rossi lays a choice at my feet-one that could either save us or doom us all-I realize how precarious loyalty can be. We've sworn vows, some in blood, some in tears. I thought I was ready for the fallout. I was wrong. -- This is Book 2 of a duet. It is highly recommended you indulge in Book 1, Broken Beauty, first.
