Celeste Cox sent me a photo on WhatsApp. I opened it to find a picture of the school heartthrob and me in an intimate embrace, the pose as suggestive as could be.

«Я слишком хорошо знаю что такое, когда у тебя есть все, включая здоровое и молодое тело. Но внутри меня нет. Моя душа была давно истлена и уничтожена в тюрьме для особо опасных преступников – в Адинбурге. Это место, где в тебе по капле убивают человечность, и за шесть лет пыток служителям ада удалось сотворить со мной это. День, когда я почувствовал страх за девушку, которая была этого не достойна, стал для меня надеждой. Верой в то, что я смогу почувствовать хоть что-нибудь. Но мой цветок, что прикидывался этой надеждой, оказался отравой, ядом и еще одним проклятьем, которое я должен искоренить в себе раз и навсегда. Я больше не хочу быть человечным. На этот раз моя игра будет еще жестче, потому что я собираюсь разорвать Камелию в клочья, пока она не будет умолять меня о… смерти.» – Брэндан.

Having her life upside down, Lily Peters being adopted by two amazing dads when she was a baby is the best of both worlds. She didn't care what other people thought. She has always loved her family. But, her mind was sometimes adrift, and she would wonder why anyone like her parents would give her up. After eighteen years, things became complicated when her grandparents from India suddenly showed up at her doorsteps and announced her engagement. Things got crazier, and the road to her future had turmoil when her best friend's grandfather announced her engagement to none other than the boy who always got away...Liam Wolfe. Liam and his brothers would be flocked by women all the time, and they wanted them so bad that they would do anything. But, since he and his brothers moved to the beautiful city of Long Beach, it would just be healthy living in a different town. Plenty of women would go down on their knees before an introduction. That all changed when he first gazed at large beautiful chocolate-brown eyes, hair like the night, and inky and sun-kissed skin that could be too delicate to touch. Liam had never believed in fairy tales until meeting Lily changed his mind and found his princess. Obstacles got in the way between Liam and Lily, including his dark past. He did not want her to have become of that past. But pretending to be engaged to the girl that stirred inside his pants can be challenging. When his past followed him, Liam had no choice but to keep Lily away from him if hurting her would keep her safe. Liam would have to become a black knight to protect his Indian princess.

Я не люблю полутонов и недочувств. Я беру все или ничего. И если я люблю, то это, минимум цунами, максимум ядерный взрыв, который уничтожит всё в радиусе сотен тысяч километров. И когда я говорю этой голубоглазой девочке, что люблю ее, это не радостная новость. Это приговор. Нам обоим.

Рэнделл – опытный игрок. Придумывать хитрые схемы, удерживая на крючке нужных ему людей. Уверенно двигать фигуры по доске, продумывая все на несколько шагов вперед. В этом он мастер. Только вместо шахмат – люди. Он ловко манипулирует ими, как кукловод марионетками. Даже будучи главным подозреваемым в деле об убийстве его матери и жены, он знал, что выйдет сухим из воды. Единственный его страх – Лиса. Невероятное притяжение между ними пагубно и смертельно, и от этого их тянет друг к другу еще сильнее. Она тоже боится его, потому что знает, на что способен Рэнделл. Но Лиса знает также, какое влияние оказывает на него. Может, и кота можно загнать в мышеловку? Их история не закончится так просто. Эти двое должны встретиться вновь. Ведь партия, начатая когда-то давно, еще не завершилась. За Лисой должок, и ей придется его вернуть.
