A fragile, unwanted burden. But when he learns the truth-the horror she has endured-his hatred turns into something far more dangerous. Possession. Obsession. An undeniable craving to claim what was forced upon him. Yet, in the shadows lurks another-a woman driven to madness, in love with him to the point of destruction. She will kill, manipulate, and tear the world apart to have him, even if it means erasing the wife he never wanted. In a marriage forged by cruelty, love may not be the only thing that blooms... because sometimes, obsession is the deadliest poison of all.

Quotes: "Ambrosia strolled over to Callum's car, only to find him missing. Glancing around, she noticed he was nowhere in sight, but she could hear him shouting. Worried, Ambrosia ran as quickly as possible in his direction. Callum's voice increased in volume with every step until a growing crowd soon enveloped her. Ambrosia pushed through the mob; squeezing between the putrid bodies and eventually made her way to the front." "Suddenly, the noise of the door opening resounded throughout the bathroom. Ambrosia silently pulled her knees to her chest, hoping to become invisible." "As his golden brown hair blew in the wind, Rose noticed the picture perfect scene laid out before her. Behind him, a blend of merigold, rose, lilac, and lapis lazuli lit up the evening sky. His body bathed in a golden hue. On one side of the horizon lay the dying sun while the other bared the porcelain moon. Hidden in the lapis, faint stars could be seen."Complete
