Tainted Souls

Aera Kim was just a quiet Korean-American nerd girl that preferred hiding out in the confines of her college's library with a stack of books. In her last year of college, her mundane life changes for the worse because of none other than Maverick Medici. The Italian-American billionaire heir is just as quiet as her, watching everyone from the shadows. He is rumored to be a wicked, psychotic rebel with too much money and power in his hands. Somehow, Aera becomes his prime target and enemy after a misunderstood confrontation.

Her best friend is the only one she can trust and rely on. But after she went against Maverick, he is out to destroy her. When he begins to play mind games with her, it becomes a game of predator and prey. As Aera navigates the treacherous waters of Maverick's mind games, she uncovers a man battling his own demons. His volatile nature both terrifies and strangely compels her. She knows she has to survive and escape before he completely corrupts and destroys her. But Maverick begins to surprise Aera with his own internal battles and passionate outlook on life...which may consume and draw her to the frightening fire within him.
