Plot Summary :
Willow knew what she was signing up for when she fell for her enemy. The one boy who was once her friend, turned into her enemy and bully and then her lover finally. Caspian. But he showed his true colors by betraying her in the end. By destroying her and showcasing her demons for everyone to see. He took the one thing she wanted so bad and that was her freedom. There was no happy ending for them, just a path caved with pain and misery.
Caspian had no choice. He had to do what he did to save the one girl he loved. The one he would do anything for. It was what he did for them both dying, so he did it. He ruined her. Destroyed her. And now the next step was marrying her no matter how much she resists. She was his and he does not give up. He will make her forgive him , make her see reason because there is not one person he will let stand between their happy ending that they both deserve.
Overall Opinion :
I have been waiting for this conclusion since forever!! That ending of book one of this duet had me shook and I wanted to see so much of that groveling and angst. I have been reading this author's books like crazy for a long time because of two reasons, the first one being her killer plot twists and the second one being her intense heroes. The intensity and chemistry is off the charts hot and so addictive! I can't have enough of it.
Caspian and Willow have a tale which will make you cry and scream but you will enjoy every single word of it like me. This one is a HEA duet with dark themes like murder , enemies to lovers and mystery! Definitely recommending this duet to all the mafia romance loving people. It's with a younger pair of characters than we usually see in an arranged marriage book but it's good nonetheless.
