Who the f--k gave Slade Cruz this kind of power over me?

I don’t know how it happened. One minute he was the guy I loathed, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up beside him desperate to get out of there.

When secrets are revealed, Slade and I realize that we are more connected than we could have ever known. Not only are we learning that our hearts beat as one, but we now share a common enemy who neither of us could have foreseen.

I’m quickly learning that Lucien Valentine isn’t only the monster in my storybook, but makes appearances in many. He needs to be stopped, but this war is bigger than just me, and I don’t think I have what it takes to fight it.

Betrayals bite hard as secrets are revealed. Hearts are put on the line, and just when you thought you had it all, the devil shows up on your door. This time he might take more than you could possibly give, and it might just cost you your life.

Hold onto your seats because Aston Creek is about to enter a war it never saw coming.

Lucien Valentine must die.

It’s the thought that’s kept me going for four long years. I’ve imagined it, dreamed about it, relished in it. I want it so bad, but the question is, do I have what it takes to make it happen?

Taking a life isn’t for the faint-hearted. Just ask Lucien, he knows.

He’s taken me back to where it all started, and I know exactly how it’s going to go. He’s going to hurt me, and then he’ll marry me off to his millionaire business partner, Marcus Mahony, who has even lower morals than he does.

I can’t let that happen.

I have to get out of here—even if it means finding out exactly what I’m made of—even if it means leaving a piece of myself behind.

I thought the past six months were insane. It turns out that I hadn’t even touched the surface. One thing is for sure, I will never be the same again.

Welcome. To. Hell.
