The one i was meant to destroy.

One inherited the most powerful empire in the world.
The other built a rival powerful enough to challenge it.
In another life, Violet Montenegro and Xavier Devereaux might have been allies.
In this one, they are enemies.
A chance encounter in Paris was supposed to mean nothing.
A few stolen minutes.
A stranger's face.
A memory that should have faded.
Instead, it became the beginning of a disaster.
Because while rival empires prepare for war, Xavier finds himself drawn to the one woman he should never want.
And Violet?
She would rather burn the world down than become anyone's weakness.
In their world, trust is a liability.
Loyalty is bought with blood.
Ad love has no place between enemies.
But some mistakes are impossible to undo.
And some enemies are impossible to hate.
He should have destroyed her.
Instead, he couldn't stop looking for her.
