Raven Frost is an epitome of mystery who weaved a web of lies and held a million secrets within her. She had come to Shadowvale University to revel in life's bounty. But her very first day tripped out. Her one lie led to another, and then another, until all she had was a willow of lies that rooted within her. And the hot, cunning man she lied to had stuck to her life like branches to her tree. Alessandro Del Vecchio. The Lucifer's progeny. The one who rules Shadowvale, dressed in an expensive pressed suit, burying his darkness in the hollow space where his heart is supposed to be. All he ever intended was to hunt down the traitor who betrayed The Outfit. The plan was simple: find the culprit, and end their life. Until she stepped in. At the wrong time and wrong place, and she became his infatuation. His own little poison that he couldn't stop consuming even if it killed every bit of him. He was the addict and she was the addiction that intoxicated his already infected soul. An addiction that leads to his destruction. His demise and her victory. Secrets. Betrayal. And passion. Tangled in the game of trust and lies, not everyone is who they say they are. Everyone wears masks in this masquerade of death. When the masks lift, who would be the last man standing...

A night of drinking. A one night stand. An agreement. All things which two sworn enemies should never do together, and yet neither can get enough. ** Alexander and Kelsie have been at war since they were kids. They'd never gotten along, and the thought of being intimate with the other was sickening. But one night that ends in a hookup proves to change everything as the pair now find themselves sneaking into broom closets and spending nights in each other's beds. There's only one catch to their newfound agreement - not to fall in love. From their lack of positive feelings, it seemed pretty easy. And yet, the more they touch, the more impossible it seems.
