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.

"Kitty please get out of the way. Or else-" "Or else what?" I was confident in myself. "Fine. You asked for it." With that he picked me up bridal style and put me on the bed. "What are you doing!" I was scared. I quickly got up to make a run for it but both his hands slipped around my waist and pulled my back against him. His warm breath making the hairs on my neck stand. He then whispered into my ears. "Don't try to run away from me kitty. You're mine and mine only." He whispered making my legs weak. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just when she was free from trouble, he became her trouble.

*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.* ........... Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything. Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right? Wrong. Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored. They had no idea. Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board. She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.
