THE STORY
Perfect for readers who love tortured villains, fake dating under duress, forced proximity, and a monster who desperately wants to be good but can’t stop the darkness in his soul…
I’m the illegitimate son of a monster.
I truly have the devil inside.
I try to be good.
To ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges.
But every day, it gets harder.
To prove to myself that I’m not completely damned, I attempt to infiltrate a trafficking ring to save all those trapped within it.
Only problem is, I meet her on the night of my initiation.
I’m given a task to take her, steal her, train her.
She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds.
She’s mine to break.
I can’t refuse.
I beg her to play along with me.
To help me stay human.
To act with me in a performance where we both might survive.
Yet the more we pretend, the more real it becomes, and I have a horrible feeling the only one who will be breaking…is me.
Tropes:
Fake relationship under duress
Human trafficking rescue stakes
He falls first & hard but can’t save her unless he hurts her

Private island imprisonment
Everyone around them is dangerous
Obey me and I’ll protect you

Reviews:
★★★★★How can I articulate how much I loved this book? I don’t think I can find words to do it justice. Beneath all the rawness, dark aspects and suffering, this story is captivating, overwhelming and hauntingly beautiful.-- Jennii The Book Addict
★★★★★ This series should be a mandatory read for any lover of dark romance. Nobody ...and I mean NOBODY can create more complex characters with bottomless pits for souls, like she can. -- Book Bistro Blog
★★★★★ Back to her roots...Pepper Winters starts off a new series full of depravity. Dark and sexy...I can tell this series will not be for the faint of heart, and, most likely, if you have ANY triggers, it will not be for you. If you enjoy sexiness and a shopping list of trigger warnings...then this will be right up your alley. - Danielle and Her S*** Books
