When my wife died at the hands of my enemies, a part of me died along with her. For 10 long, agonising years, I yearned for her. Day and night. I vowed never to look in another woman's direction again, and for those 10 years, I didn't. Then Autumn DeValos bulldozed into my life. I tried to kill her. Several times.

She was my beacon of light in my dark, chaotic world. My heart. My soul. My everything.

They warned me no one survives the love of a scarred prince. I touched him anyway. And now I'm dead—just like they said I'd be. For years, I believed I was alone.

He still believed he was a monster. But I saw the pain in his eyes. And in that moment, I knew: not all monsters wear their teeth. I should've stayed away.

I knew better than to get involved with Xavier Darcy. He’s not the type to chase—he waits. Patient. Deadly. All shadows and stillness, with a voice that makes threats sound like lullabies. One reckless night goes viral, and suddenly the world thinks I’m his. But that lie could destroy...
