A Vicious Love
(2026)(The first book in the Crows of Harlan - Jamison Crow series)
A novel by Simone Elise
Jamison Crow has spent three years making sure I understand one thing.
He doesn’t want me.
Our engagement was arranged to settle an old dynasty debt. I was eighteen when they put his name beside mine, young enough to believe that if I loved him enough, eventually my terrifying fiancé might love me back.
He didn’t.
Jamison forgot me at events. Mocked the way I talked. Hated when I reached for his hand. Hated the stupid nickname I gave him. Hated every little piece of me I kept offering to a man who never asked for any of it.
So eventually, I stopped.
I was finally ready to walk away.
There was only one problem.
Jamison Crow had never wanted his fiancée.
But apparently, he couldn’t survive losing her.
Because the moment another man looked at me the way I’d spent years wishing Jamison would, Harlan’s most feared Crow stopped pretending.
And when I tried to end our engagement?
He reminded me exactly what kind of man I’d been promised to.
The kind who would burn every escape route I had left.
And call it love.
This is Book 1 of 2
