Raven et Jade se rencontrent dans une agence de mannequinat notoire de Soho, un antre de néons et de rêves brisés. Dans le brouillard perpétuel de la Tamise, elles reconnaissent instantanément en l'autre la même cicatrice : une enfance volée. Leur alliance nait dans les pubs enfumés et les chambres d'hôtel miteux de King's Cross. Leur relation charnelle est un orage londonien : violent, purificateur et désespéré, un moyen de sentir la chaleur à travers le froid qui les habite. Leur ascension les mène des podiums de Fashion Week aux soirées privées et crapuleuses dans les penthouses de Mayfair et les docks de Wapping. C'est là qu'elles croisent la route des Krayton, une fratrie mafieuse qui règne sur les arrière-salles de la City et le trafic d'influence. Pour ces hommes, éduqués à Eton mais élevés dans la cruauté, les filles sont à la fois des trophées, des outils et des jouets. Les "dettes" se paient en services rendus dans les sombres ruelles de Brick Lane ou les boîtes de nuit exclusives de Soho. La violence des Krayton est froide, méthodique, typiquement britannique dans son hypocrisie meurtrière. Elle réveille en écho les blessures de Raven et de Jade, qui apprennent à naviguer dans ce monde sans pitié. Leur sexualité, déjà tordue, devient une monnaie noire et une dague qu'elles aiguisent contre leurs bourreaux, jouant un jeu mortel de séduction et de trahison. Mais le brouillard de Londres cache tous les secrets. Les fantômes de leur passé , un père qui refait surface, une mère qui menace de tout révéler , ressurgissent au moment où les Krayton, lassés de leur insolence, décident de "régler le problème".

"Look me in the eyes, Raven. Tell me that you don't want me, that you don't want this..." He whispered, his voice a teasing caress to her ears. "I hate you. I really hate you," she gasped, her eyes fluttering close as he nibbled on the skin of her neck. "No, you don't," he said, his fingers trailing up her right thigh. .... Rejected by the Alpha's son, her destined mate, Raven flees from the pack, only to end up being a victim of a spiked drink originally meant for a handsome stranger at the bar. After a passionate, hazy, one-night stand with him, she wakes up the next morning to flee when she discovers that he's a Lycan, the creature she hates the most. What happens when she ends up marrying the same man she'd fled from, in an accidental marriage? Even worse, he's cursed and she belongs to the bloodline of witches who cursed him. Can they defeat their ill fate and claim happiness for themselves?

The darkest corners of the world hold the secrets the leaders want you to forget. Deep inside a cabin covered with moss and shadows, those secrets are not yet forgotten. Under the moon, light glistens off of shining stones lining the porch and bundles of herbs drying from the rafters. Candlelight emanates from the interior and warmth surrounds the occupant. Inside this cabin was a forrest witch who was chanting a spell as she added herbs to a small caldron. Smoke rises and electricity fills the room. Her raven hair started to rise and the smoke turned glowing green. Leaves outside the cabin started swirling in the air raising around the cabin forming a circle. “None may find me where I reside, safe in the forrest this witch hides. Safe from the evil doers and safe from their men. None may ever find me again.” Cold. Like ice from an iceberg, his skin molded smoothly across his frame. The envelop in his hands was sealed by the Elder Lords sigil pressed into blood red wax. Slipping his long pale finger, breaking the seal, one word was inside. “Urgente.” His particular talents were once again needed.

“What do you think you are doing?” He asked with his eyes getting darker with every passing second. “S-Seducing you.” I mumbled while fidgeting my fingers as his deep breath made the sensitive spot between my legs to throb. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. It should be the other way round. “And who are you?” He asked as he lowered his head with his warm breath fanning my upper lip. I gulped as my body was visibly trembling. I wanted to run away but I couldn’t. His eyes had these magnets which were attracting every fiber inside my body towards him. “Y-your…y-your…” A lone tear escaped my eyes with my lower lip trembling. “My what?” He rasped as his black raven eyes were dwelling inside my emerald ones as I whimpered when he clenched my hairs in a fist at the back of my neck. “Your whore.” I admitted and he smashed his lips against mine. “Let me treat you like one then.” He growled inside my mouth.

My family was supposed to be the richest of the land, yet I had to refund even a cheap delivery. Why? In my previous life, my housekeeper's daughter got her hands on a trading system. Every cent of money I spent would be hers. She started trying to guilt-trip me into donating to all the impoverished students in her school. It was charity anyway, so I signed a check worth 300 grand. The moment I did, that money became part of her savings, and the amount on my check was zero. Everyone called me names, called me a charlatan. Even the boy toy I spent good money on broke up with me. That girl used my money to donate to charities and became the kind and beautiful heiress. She told everyone I was the housekeeper's daughter instead. Furious, I grabbed my black card and started shopping like crazy. I wanted to prove I was the real heiress, but the balance in my account was cleared immediately. That girl then spent 1.2 million right away, like it was one dollar. She scoffed at me. "Don't try to act like you're rich when you're a broke loser. Your mother doesn't make enough as a housekeeper." The Internet decided to hunt me down. I could not handle the stress, and my mind broke. For some reason, my body withered away at a blistering rate. Before my father could save me, I drew my last breath. When I opened my eyes again, I returned to that fateful day. The day the housekeeper's daughter made me donate to the school.
