Your monster.” Alethea smiles, tracing the black ink on his throat to his face, fingertips brushing over his lips. “I know.” Alethea Mordrake and Leviathan Sol-Dragomir were known as the golden couple of Saint Jude’s Academy. The billionaire’s princess is a beautiful bully ready to do anything for the only boy she ever loved. He was her obsession, she was his peace. He disappeared on their final dinner party after an intense night of promises. He left Alethea only with a three-word command, which she obeyed for three years. Now, he is back. But the man who returned is a total stranger. Covered in thick black tattoos and reeks of whiskey, blood, and sweat. He is no longer the boy she protected, now she’s the one who needs to be protected. He is the ruin she’s been waiting for and she is ready to accept him with open arms.

Lara Hayes never thought one silly joke on a cold winter Tuesday would land her in a fake engagement with her billionaire best friend. She only wanted to help Bryce Knight escape his family's arranged marriage. But when he took her joke seriously, Lara suddenly found herself pretending to be his fiancée in front of his intimidating family and the media, while secretly dating a man she genuinely loved. Now, she has to keep her fake engagement from destroying her real relationship. But the longer Lara plays the perfect fiancée to Bryce, the harder it becomes to keep things private as the lines between pretending and reality start to blur. Especially when Bryce has been hiding feelings for her for years.
