On paper, she's untouchable. But perfection is just a cover for a ruined family, a dark past, bloody hands and a poisoned heart. Everyone buys the act. Not him. The devil from her childhood. Luc carries a guilt that drives him into sex, illegal racing and fights, acting like nothing left to lose. He thinks he knows what destroyed his life. He has no idea his guilt is the same as Riah's tainted soul. Being forced together? It's vicious. Two killers in a bed, where lying is keeping the other alive. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬.
