She is fire. She is danger. She is Vivienne Moreau-beautiful, ruthless, and mercilessly cunning. Born into wealth, forced into a marriage with the enigmatic Cassian, and trained to obey, Vivienne hides a darkness that no one dares to challenge. But control is an illusion, and her twisted desires cannot be contained.
When Lila enters their world, Vivienne's carefully constructed life begins to fracture, exposing a hunger for power, passion, and vengeance. In the shadows of betrayal and obsession, Vivienne will stop at nothing to claim what she wants-even if it means breaking hearts, bending minds, and igniting a fire that could consume everything in its path.
In a world of wealth, secrets, and desire, Vivienne is both predator and prey-and no one will leave her story unchanged.
