Alluring Epiphany (The Obsidian World Series Book #1)
"I'll escape time and time again... Until I am free from this place and you..." I declared impulsively. "Then run." His voice was low and venomous, each word dripping with menace. "Run as far as you can, Angel. But know this -I'll find you. I'll tear through every shadowed alley and every crowded street until I find you. And when I do..." His lips curled into a feral smirk, his eyes gleaming with a dark promise. "I'll drag you back to me, kicking and screaming if I must." ★★★ She was supposed to be a liability. Yet somehow, she became the one weakness he could never resist. Zyaire Theron Vayne was forged from blood, dominance, and devastation.

And Angeline Monet was never supposed to enter his world. A beautiful stranger cocooned within a life built around her, she is a secret he was never meant to uncover- For whom blood has already stained more than one man's hands. Taking her was a necessity. Keeping her was temporary. Wanting her was never part of the plan. But Angeline doesn't cower beneath his darkness. She challenges him. Defies him. Gets beneath his skin in ways no one ever has. She has no idea what she has become to him. His madness. His obsession. And now, power is no longer the only thing the killer wants.
