For what I witnessed, he wants me dead. But I'm no prey, and I'll make him admit he just wants me. With a wicked grin, I watched him kill a man, silently urging him on. Then I ran, adrenaline surging, hoping the sinfully handsome stranger wouldn't catch me. Yet, for months, I dreamed he would. Until the day our paths crossed again and his cold, soulless gaze reignited the desire that had haunted me. Carter Pierce-one of the bloody kings of the underworld he and his soul brothers rule. The very people my family warned me against. But when the despicable man refusing to grant me a divorce moves against me, it's Carter who stands by my side. And when his enemy strikes, I risk too much to stand by his. What future can I possibly have with a man missing a heart? And will he even want me once he truly knows me?
