The venue gleamed with gold, the air smelled of white roses, and her so-called best friend, Kassandrah, stood by her side as maid of honor. Everything was perfect. Until it wasn’t.

She had just married Alexander Nicholas Astley, one of the most powerful billionaires in the country — and the most feared man in the underground world.

And in the dangerous world she was dragged into, her survival would depend on one impossible question: Was Alexander her captor… or her savior?
