Darius

I’ve been isolated and forced to live under a different last name my whole life.

But now the time has come for people to learn exactly who I am.

And I’m willing to take down anyone who tries to stop me from reclaiming the empire that’s rightfully mine.

The last person who I thought would get in my way has taken matters into her own hands - my step sister.

I can’t let Raina become a distraction but she has caught my attention in more ways than one and our childhood feud is about to become a messy affair.

This was never meant to be love. It was meant to be war. Every kiss is a threat, every touch a trap and her lies taste sweeter than the truth.

I came to kill a man. She came to ruin me.

Raina

I’ve never been accepted.

Not at school and definitely not at home.

And when my mother’s death is ruled as a suicide, not only am I completely isolated, but I have to share a home with the man who’s responsible.

My so called brother has had the upper hand on me our entire lives, but now I’m rewriting the rules.

A man like Darius is impossible to take down but I know his secret. Once I get him to open his heart, it’ll only make it all too easy to reach right in and snatch it.

He might be my biggest fear, but I’ve got nothing left to lose. And nothing tastes sweeter than vengeance.
