Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told.

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐍𝐄 • 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 | COMPLETED - CURRENTLY BEING EDITED & REPOSTED The hunt for her older brother's killer consumed four years of Saylor Morrison's life. Six months after he had vanished, they found his body. Two years of tracking led her to the vampire Saylor had believed was responsible. But her revenge backfires spectacularly when Godric Jameson transforms her into the very creature she has despised, instead of ending her life. Now, Saylor battles unfamiliar emotions and an infuriating and inconvenient attraction to the vampire who turned her - all while struggling to master her new supernatural existence. As Saylor reluctantly adapts, inconsistencies in what she thought she had known about Vaughn's death begin to surface. The truth seems to be buried somewhere in the silence of Godric's nest - a group of vampires that seem far more tight-lipped about the past than they are about teaching her to embrace eternity. ☪︎ 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑵𝑬𝑾 𝑳𝑰𝑭𝑬 𝑶𝑭 𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 ‪‪❤︎‬ 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝑺𝑬𝑿𝑼𝑨𝑳 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑵𝑻 「 ✦ 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 ✦ 」 #1 Maker - 16.12.25 #1 Everlasting - 19.12.25
