In the heart of Victorian London, amidst the fog-shrouded streets and gaslit alleys, two sworn enemies find themselves entwined in a web of mystery and danger. 

Detective Evelyn Hartley, renowned for her sharp wit and keen intellect, is tasked with unraveling a series of gruesome murders plaguing the city. Meanwhile, the enigmatic and brooding Lord Alexander Blackwood, notorious for his dark past and shadowy connections, is drawn into the investigation for reasons of his own.

As Evelyn and Alexander reluctantly join forces, they unearth a tangled history of secrets and betrayals, each discovery bringing them closer to the chilling truth behind the murders. But as their alliance deepens, so too does the undeniable attraction simmering between them, defying all logic and reason.

Caught between duty and desire, Evelyn and Alexander must confront their pasts and face the looming specter of death that shadows their every move. Will they uncover the killer's identity before it's too late? And will their newfound bond withstand the deadly forces arrayed against them?

In a city teetering on the brink of darkness, where the line between friend and foe blurs with every step, only one thing is certain: in the game of love and death, nothing is as it seems.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #4 in running #4 in nightterror #3 in brokenfamily #5 in mafiaprincess #7 in pastabuse #34 in siblingrivalry #29 in nightmares #60 in littlesister #58 in ptsd
