About this listen
She's his obsession... and for her, he's willing to risk it all. The niece to one of the richest men in London, Harper's entire life has been controlled since her very first breath. Constantly under scrutiny from her ruthless family and their controversial church, she's had to fight for what little privacy she has. On the outside she was privileged and obedient, but in reality all she's ever dreamed about was breaking free from her gilded cage.
Until one night she allows her desire to take control, and taste life without expectation. One sin, and now the escape she's carefully planned for the past ten years has begun crumbling around her.
Tasked with infiltrating one of the cruellest families in the city, Sythe didn't think he'd run into any complications. Then there was her, the niece to his target, and the woman who's left him wanting more after one of the most intimate experiences of his life. Harper embodies everything he resents, yet his fixation becomes an unwelcome distraction. Until he realises they have a common goal, then that addiction burns into something more.
Amidst bloodthirsty Daemons, a fanatical faith set on eradicating all Breed, and a man lusting after power without a care for consequences, Sythe must navigate dark secrets and twisted lies to fulfil his mission and exact revenge.
Will he complete his objective and take down the family?
Or will he forsake it all for her?

Giovanni is my savior... But he wants me for himself. I’ve grown used to men wanting me and taking what’s not theirs to take. But he’s different.

Story
Making decisions I regret is basically a hobby. So I guess it really wasn’t that surprising when I went out on a date with an Elite. And then he tried to assault me. I might be small, but I’m strong. I fought him off...then went straight to the dean. He didn’t believe me. No one does. And now my date from hell is in revenge mode, and I somehow end up in the campus pool. Did I mention I can’t swim?

Despite my last name being Kingsley, I had to work hard for my crown. I’m a gifted hockey player, but earning a spot in the Hannaford U hockey team took more than talent. When it comes to dating, that’s a different story. I’ve always had it easy. There’s never been a girl that I couldn’t win over. Until I met Gia Mancini, a goddess among mortals. Not only did my charms not work on her, she friend-zoned me.
