WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

5 stars -  Adelaide and Kingston and whatever they have going on is intense, angsty and dangerous. Their journey is full of intrigue, mystery and drama and will keep you glued to the pages from beginning to end. I absolutely LOVE everything about their story. There's lots of surprises, twists and turns as well healing they both need desperately and can only find with each other. 

5 stars - Wow. It kept me on my toes the whole time. I thought it couldn’t be an enemies to lovers story as they loved each other from their first meeting as kids. It was so evident they were destined to be together. But then came the betrayal, the lies, and the hurt on so many different fronts. I loved every word and couldn’t put the book down.

5 stars - Defiantly 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️.5 I love how Tara easily transitioned from serious scenes to the spicy moments. They never felt forced, repetitive, or randomly placed. And oh goodness were some moments steamy! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this plot.

5 stars - This dark romance had me captive from page one. Kingston and Adelaide's story and me wanting more every step of the way. The Pain! I felt it along side them. I never wanted this book to end!

A beginner dark romance - a good starting point for those new to the genre. This book offer a taste of the genre's intensity without being too dark.

He lives in a castle, but he's no prince.

I live in a tower, but I'm no princess.


Adelaide

I had a normal childhood for a blue blood growing up in a famous, historical hotel among Gilded Age mansions on the coast of Rhode Island.

 

My life changed dramatically when my mom died before I was even a teenager. That same year I met my best friend. Kingston. The boy with black hair and moonbeam eyes who saved me from cracking my head open. He became my lifeline. By the time we were teens, I planned our marriage and our happily ever after.

 

It was a fool's dream.

 

I learned the hard way people in my elite world hurt you. They betray and discard you like trash. My heart has had its share of beatings, but Kingston left it in pieces.

 

I hated him for it.

 

He grew up to be even more stunning and continues to taunt me, stealing kisses and more. Taking things he doesn't deserve but that I give willingly. Because as much as I hate him, I still want him. Worst of all, I hate when he shows glimpses of the boy I once loved. In rare moments, he even shows me affection.

 

That's the most I can hope for in this corrupt world of old money and legacies. We're all monsters who thrive off pain, me included. Kingston still owns a piece of my heart that I'm too weak to take back.

 

At twenty years old, we’re caught in a tormenting cycle of cat and mouse that can only end in one of two ways—we destroy or save each other.
