𝐄𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐢𝐝 has finally moved on from the death of her best friend. The noise of the trauma tormenting her years since his ex-girlfriend, no other than her sister, shot him through the window during a home invasion was silent, the moment he'd taken his last breath in her arms a lost dream. Life, as she knew it in her new life and job, was finally okay.

Until he was alive.

Until he's 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢, the heir to the most powerful family in L.A. Until after an incident at her job, he recruits Eden to be the head of hospitality, serving the guests of the families presenting their daughters until his parents choose one to be his wedded wife and inherit all the power touched within California. Until his dark face glowed, an accidental brush of his fingers was a harrowing knife of pleasure against her skin, and one intoxicated night unleashed an unprecedented vice neither of them foresaw.

Until he swallowed her into darkness.

One changed man. One grown woman. A world of pain when the sick truth is unraveled.
