Cyra Aveline Berkeley and Adrian Hugo were bound by a marriage that conceals more than it reveals. Both teeter on the edge of madness and sadism, and in their union, there are only whispers of what has been done, and promises of what is yet to come. She was scandalous, cruel and disobedient - an exquisite storm no man could command. He was the shadow who dared to tame her, and the predator who savored the fight. But both Adrian and Cyra are prisoners of their own secrets; bloodied histories they cannot confess, sins that whisper in the dark, truths that, if unveiled, would destroy everything they pretend to be, truths so vile they would shatter the empires they wore like crowns. They are dangerous and merciless - two flames drawn together by obsession and depravity. But, the closer you look, the less you trust anything that you see, and the more you start to realise that... something is terrifyingly wrong. ------- ‼️ This work contains explicit sexual content, depicted within the bounds of mutual consent.
