After her father dies, 18-year-old Aria Callahan has to get used to a new reality when her mother tells her that she is getting married to a powerful, mysterious man named Sebastian Devereux. But the man her mother is going to marry isn’t just incredibly good-looking; he’s also dangerously attractive.
At first, Aria fights it, but then she becomes obsessed and is torn between disgust and desire. Sebastian’s forbidden love draws her in, and dark secrets come to light: his criminal empire, a bloody kitchen, a dangerous enemy named Marco, and a past that ties Sebastian to everything she thought she could trust.
Aria’s world falls apart into l**t, lies, and deadly promises as she tries to choose between being loyal to her mother, getting over a lost love, and the thrill of a man she should never touch. But nothing is what it seems, not even her own heart.
He was supposed to be her stepfather. But now he is her biggest temptation and maybe even her downfall.
