When she poisoned him, she never expected him to fall into a coma for two long years... and she never imagined he would wake to hate her and she definitely didn't think she'd need seduction to get him back.

Can two hearts that were once inseparable find their way back from darkness? And remember, Raad isn't a man who shares, at all.
