Persephone Vivienne Devereaux was the perfect wife. She gave her husband everything-her time, her love, her entire life. She built her world around him, making sure his ran smoothly even when hers was falling apart. So why was it never enough? Why was his attention always somewhere else... with other women? Now she's left questioning her marriage, her worth, and the life she sacrificed to maintain. Kassian "Hollow" Sinclair is a name that stays on repeat-on playlists, in headlines, and on the lips of women who swear they're different. At just 25, he's already living a life most can't touch-money long, fame loud, and an ego to match. He's smooth, calculated, and dangerously charming... the type to pull you in without ever giving you enough to feel secure. Music is his escape, but control is his addiction. And women? They don't just want him... they lose themselves trying to keep him. Until her. Persephone is cold, boujee, and completely unimpressed. She doesn't care about his fame, his money, or his name-and for the first time in his life... Kassian isn't in control. What starts as curiosity turns into obsession. Lust turns reckless, boundaries disappear, and lines that should never be crossed get blurred. Because behind her perfect image is a woman starving for something real... and behind his fame is a man who only knows how to take. Secrets build. Feelings get involved. And now it's no longer just temptation-it's betrayal. When it all falls apart... who gets hurt first? And was it ever love... or just a beautiful lie?
