"Listen carefully, Amara... Seven souls have fallen from grace. You will find one who is prideful and vain, one who has become sick with that which he craves, one whose desires will control his aims, one who resents that which he cannot attain, one who consumes more than which he's ordained, one who disregards love for rage, and one who does little for those in aid. Seven Sins... Seven months, and your burden will be lifted." ~~~~~~ Amara has spent five years of her life away from the world, the weight of her past shadowing her every step. Once engaged to a beloved celebrity and on the path to a bright future, her life shattered when a single tragic moment led to her fiancé's death. Now free, she returns to a world that has moved on without her-a father with a secret, a society unwilling to forgive, and a future that feels out of reach. As Amara navigates her isolation, she begins to encounter strange things. She uncovers uncomfortable truths about her family, her fiancé's death, and the person she wants to become. In the end, Amara must decide whether she can forgive herself and embrace the chance to rebuild her life. As things continue to come to light, she must confront the darkest parts of herself.

"I want to defile you, destroy you, corrupt you in the most sinfully beautiful way. Break you until you're completely mine." "And then?" "Then I'll piece you back together, of course." He took another step in her direction, closing the distance between them. "Love can be holy." He said but the look in his eyes promised anything but. "It can be kind and gentle. It can be the flutter inside your chest when you feel someone touch you, the blush staining your cheeks when someone brushes his knuckles over them." To prove his point further, he took his knuckles and brushed them over her sharp jawline, all the way to her lightly dusted cheeks and sharp cheekbones. "However, love can also be vile. Dark and all-consuming. The kind of love that makes you want to fall to your knees and let it destroy you." He let his palm rest on her soft skin and felt the warmth she provided so carelessly travel to him. "That's all I can offer you." Nathaniel Russ is a man devoid of passion. Cold, stern, a tragedy with skin. A wreckage just seconds before the crash. A writer. He spends countless hours teaching philosophy at the local university, waiting for something to make the words crawl out of him with the same vigorous appetite they once did. And he finds it, at the most unexpected moment. Guinevere Westbrook is a woman haunted by the sins of her past. And she just happens to be the muse he had been waiting for, even though she refuses to accept it. So, he orchestrates a game meant for two. A game. That's all it was. Until it wasn't.

This book is so awfully written, I'm embarrassed. The relationship is toxic and evil and I've been working on rewriting this story. As soon as I have it rewritten, I'm gonna take it down and put it back up. It's gonna be the same concept but I'm gonna fix plot holes and make it a little healthier.
