Natasha Amery. A sheltered young girl who recently lost her mother.
Raising her younger sister, Gia, in hopes to find a better life for the two of them like she promised her mother.
She tried her best to escape her abusive father, but the second she turned 18, he sold her to Lorenzo Romano. The most deranged, ruthless man imaginable. Known as the devil on earth.
Lorenzo Romano, hands stained crimson red.
He had killed more men in his life than everyone in the famiglia combined. He didn't feel emotion. He had killed his brother with his bare hands at just 16.
But the moment he laid eyes on her, he felt. He felt emotions he believed weren't real. An overwhelming need to protect her at all costs. She was the only thing that could fix the devil.
After vowing to never touch her in order to keep her innocence, his obsession grows stronger.
But when Lorenzo's vindictive uncle buys Natasha for him, he does everything to avoid her in hopes to keep her safe and innocent.
But when he simply places a mask over his face making her fall into his arms, can he stay away knowing how she truly felt?
Their love story was one of death and despair. it was never to happen. love forged in the hands of the devil for an angel.
It was like she had broken the devil.

*This will not be a short or relaxing story!
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.
