Since birth, Alora Goodrich's mother warned her that the heart's desires were dangerous. Most love was a distraction, a trick of the mind, or a lie. To honor her mother's passing, she swore to never give in to her desires, that was, until she met the beautifully stubborn Sorren Belrose.
Sorren was attractive, astute, and an amazing chef who cooked at his family's restaurant. Since the beginning, he was taught to adhere to his dark impulses and pleasure himself with whichever babe or brawn he could find. Unlike the rest of his lustful family, Sorren hoped to discover something more profound than the desires of the flesh. But upon meeting Alora, he is tempted to do things he swore never to do.
How will two people from two different worlds react when their tangled paths collide? Will they throw away everything for a chance at real love? Or will their nightmare's desires kill them both?
