Having heard some stories of Zari's dysfunctional family dynamic, Raven is unsure of what to expect upon meeting Zari's parents for the first time. However, she never counted on the toxic relationships between family members, and certainly not the fatal attraction she would have to Zari's own father, Dashon, who's as alluring and off-limits as they come. Her attraction begins to spiral out of control when she realizes the Oakleys' luxurious lifestyle isn't all it's cracked up to be, with a bizarre family history and dark secrets. The last thing Raven wants to do is betray Zari and destroy their friendship. Torn between her own desires and the risk of losing everything she holds dear, Raven treads a dangerous, forbidden path and has a battle with the messiest sin: temptation. *Will be published for purchase in the near future*
