[UNEDITED] Elyssia Lopez is smart, disciplined, and on track to graduate laude. By day, she's a nursing student at UST. By night, she's a lethal assassin for Crimson Veil. Her mission? Marry Zagreus and pretend to be his wife.
It should have been easy. After all, he was hopelessly in love with her.
Crimson Veil had failed to end him again and again... until the night of the explosion. The party, the car--everything was meant to end it. Two years of deception, two years of danger, and she thought she was finally free.
But chaos tore through the room. People screamed and stumbled toward the exits. And in the middle of it all... he was there. Zagreus Romanovich Volkov--alive.
From that night on, everything change.

Marked By Sin
She's the daughter of his enemy. He's the man who destroyed the last piece of her mother's memory. Iris Volkov built a company, an empire with grace, grit, and a fire forged by betrayal. She escaped her family's blood-stained legacy-but never its chains. One man. One careless, cold-blooded man-shattered the only thing she vowed to protect. Now, she carries that hatred like a second skin. Silas Draven Romano doesn't make mistakes. He eliminates them. Crowned emperor of the Romano empire, his silence speaks violence, and mercy is not in his blood. But when a furious hurricane wrapped in blue eyes and venomous grace costs him a years-long target, she earns a place on his blacklist-and maybe under his skin. They're not lovers. They're not allies. They're two storms on a collision course-violent, unforgiving, and bound by a past soaked in secrets. Hatred is the game. Obsession is the weapon. And love? That was never in the plan.Complete

That's comparable to reading Twilight. - This book contains a slow to medium burn love story. - The love interest is introduced in the first chapter. - This book contains explicit content. - There are generated illustrations throughout every chapter. - I won't ever put a picture of what the main love interest looks like to not ruin your own imagination of him.
