Book Two of the Damned Hearts Trilogy
Clara Hayes thought she'd escaped the chaos that haunted her best friend's life.
But peace is a fragile thing-especially when temptation wears two faces.
Chad Montgomery is everything Clara swore she'd never want again: reckless, charming, and intoxicating. He flirts like it's an art form, hides his pain behind jokes, and makes her heart race in ways she doesn't understand. He's chaos wrapped in a perfect smile-and she hates that she's drawn to him.
Then there's Julien Mitchell-Moreau-Elena's twin brother.
The secret no one was ever supposed to uncover.
He's cold. Calculated. A man who's learned to survive in a world of violence and loyalty, built from the blood-stained empire he runs in the shadows. The mob has taken pieces of him he'll never get back... except when it comes to her.
Because Julien never saw Clara as his sister's childish best friend.
He saw her as the woman who could undo him-the one light that could expose every dark secret he's buried.
But when the truth about who he is comes to light, Clara finds herself torn between two men:
A reckless playboy who burns for her.
And a ruthless protector who would burn the world to keep her safe.
In a world where every choice comes with consequences, Clara must decide which man she's willing to fall for... and which one will destroy her first.
Because love can be a sin.
Obsession can be a weapon.
And temptation... is the most beautiful kind of ruin.

Her breath hitched as his hand slid to her waist, brushing against her back and then lingered. "I... I can't believe you" "You can," he murmured, leaning so close her lips almost brushed his.
