“Less than an hour spent with you, Layla, and I was obsessed.”
He caught me spying on my enemies and could've had me killed.
Instead, he says he wants to help.
To give me a future, freedom, and most of all, revenge.
I want that, too. I want everything he has to give… even though I know he’s hiding something.
I grew up around men like Matthew Langston—rich, powerful, above the law.
He’s dangerous and a whole lot of trouble.
But when he treats me like a goddess, worshipping the ground I walk on, the fear for my future doesn’t exist.
Until I learn who he really is.
They say love hurts—but they never mentioned it could make you bleed.
His deceit was like wine.
I drank it in. Let it intoxicate me.
But he’s not the man I fell for.
Matthew Langston is a lie.
I’d run from him if I could. I’d flee. If only he hadn’t turned my family against me.
Now, I have nothing. No money, phone, or external support.
Only him, and his determination to win me back.
So I’ll use it to my advantage. I’ll use him.
Because he made a promise to help me get revenge on those we despise.
And once that’s over, so are we.
The complete duet of Layla and Matthew’s seductively thrilling story.
