BOOK ONE OF THE BLACK SERIES -- "Well, behalf of my dick, who cannot speak for himself," Kade said simply as he watched over my face, one of his eyebrows risen, "I would like to say for him that he doesn't care about my brother's feelings at this current moment - or his reaction to the photo." "Well, I do," I muttered, my sentence coming out muffled in my hands as they covered my face. "Do you know how this makes me look to the public eye? To be sleeping with my boyfriend's older brother?" "Look on the bright side, Em." I didn't even spare him a glance as I shook my head, grunting. "Emara, look at me." My hands were pulled away and Kade stared at me, his vibrant blue eyes twinkling and his dirty blonde hair covering his eyebrows. The sight of his effortless beauty made my hard glare slightly soften. "You know I won't tell him if he finds out, you know me," he mumbled to me, "but I'm not going to lie to him when he finds out and say that if I had the chance to change what we've been doing, I wouldn't - because I would do it again without a second thought."

She is the poison. I am the antidote. She was promised marriage. I intend to make it hell. She thinks I'm her salvation. I'm her damnation. Some vows are made in sin. Ours was bound in vices. ───────────────────── S Y N O P S I S Imaani Nurr is set to marry the man of her dreams. Poised and dutiful, she has spent her life following the rules to be the obedient daughter and society's darling. But beneath her quiet grace lies a woman suffocating, desperate to escape the expectations that bind her. Saint Faris is not the man he claims to be. A man cloaked in allure and mystery, a self-made mogul with a sterling reputation and eyes that promise both danger and devotion. He's calculatingly cold, vicious, and has a penchant for keeping dark and twisted secrets. Behind his reserved exterior is a man on a personal mission to destroy anything he sets his eyes on, no matter how innocent or docile they may appear. Because even salt looks like sugar. What begins as a marriage built on deception soon becomes a battle of wills, where lust and resentment blur the lines between love and hate. And somewhere between the sins they hide and the beautiful chaos they create, they become each other's greatest vice.
