They called him a Monster. He doesn't love, he possesses. Dezaya is a Nursing student who prefers the silence of the library and the predictability of anatomy books. She's trained to save lives, to stay calm under pressure, and to heal wounds. But she wasn't trained for Astraeus Slade Cross. He doesn't just want her attention, he wants her spirit. But in a game where the monster sets the rules, Dezaya is about to find out that some monsters don't want to kill you-they want to own you. He has marked her. He has isolated her. He has promised to be her worst nightmare. But Dezaya is a nursing student used to blood and pressure, and she's not going down without a fight. The hunt is on, and in this school, there's nowhere to hide when the monster decides you're his favorite prey.

He was "The Player." She was the prize. Winning her was a game. Losing her was his reality. He built a career on blueprints and a reputation on lies. She built a life on justice and a heart out of stone. But when the truth came out, she flew halfway across the world to forget him. Five years later, Amillizianne is no longer a girl to be played with-she's the law. She's a high-powered Attorney. And Yro? he's the Engineer hired to build her future. He's the man who will do anything to fix the structure he destroyed. He played the game and lost his heart-but can he convince the woman who knows every law of betrayal to give him one more chance? In the game of love, the player finally meets his match.
