Areston thinks he can shield me from his past, but what he doesn't realize is I'm already part of it.
The darkness that haunts him? It's the same one that's been chasing me for years.
I've given him everything-my body, my heart, my soul-and still, it's not enough. He craves control, and needs to protect me, but I'm done playing the delicate wife. I'm done being kept in the dark while he fights battles that belong to both of us.
He's mine, and I'll burn the world down to keep him just like he would do for me.
But our secrets are dangerous. Our demons are circling, and if we're not careful, they'll tear us apart from the inside.
We've been through hell together, but this is different. This time, it's not about surviving-it's about whether we can trust each other enough to fight for what we have.
He's the love of my life, the man I'm addicted to, but in the end, will our love be enough to save us from ourselves?
This explosive finale to The Scent Trilogy-where passion, obsession, and unrelenting loyalty collide, and no one walks away unscathed.
