Succession meets Black Mirror with the morally gray heat of Scarlett St. Clair and the addictively immersive realities of Rebecca Yarros or Sarah J. Maas, as obsession takes center stage in this steamy, neon-lit, dark romantasy twist on Snow White and the Huntsman.

“Sexy and utterly engrossing!” — J.T. Geissinger, bestselling author of The Queens and Monsters series

There’s always more to a person than meets the eye. I’m a prime example—fierce warrior lawyer in the courtroom by day, nurturing protector by night . . .



Growing up poor made me ambitious, while the death of my beloved grandfather left me with a penchant for collecting elderly men with heartaches of their own. At the moment, I have seven. They live at the boarding house I run to help pay my law school loans. By now, they’re family, and the best men I know. Meeting Alexai Sokolov only confirms that.

For a convicted murderer, Alexai is a shockingly domineering, unsettlingly seductive pain in the arse. Maybe it’s because he’s also heir to one of the world’s largest social media companies. At least he was. For seven years he’s maintained his innocence, and with the recent discovery that his judge was corrupt, Alexai’s case is up for re-examination. But even if he is innocent, he’s dangerous—in the worst and best ways. The fact that I’m intensely drawn to him is even more treacherous.

I do my job and get Alexai released as we await a new trial. Immediately, he begins avenging his traitorous relatives and preparing to reclaim the helm of his digital empire. Amid all that, our electric connection detonates. But it also puts us—and everyone I care about—in the crosshairs of deadly enemies. If we can’t stop them, Alexai plans to just burn the whole world down. And if anything, he’s a man of his word . . .
