A world where every dirty little secret is revealed. A underground world where a wedding band is forced on her finger, married to a man of no morals, after being picked to sit pretty at his side. But nothing is what it seems. • Elias Volkan. A man, Heartless and crazed. He was hell, if there really was one. His desire of revenge burned hot, and nothing could stop him from getting what he wanted.

But as their demons clash, and the desire for each other starts burning hotter then his lust for revenge, they learn that wanting what they couldn't have is deadly. With tension hot, betrayals burning like embers and the many Hidden truths begging to be revealed, Syn will be tested in ways that she couldn't even begin to fathom.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
