In a world full of darkness and deadly secrets, Malachi Carmichael's name strikes fear. He's a ruthless mafia boss with a heart of ice, and I never expected to fall for someone with a reputation for cruelty. As I get to know him, I see the man beneath the hard exterior. We begin to understand and trust each other, forming a bond we never anticipated. Our bond grows stronger in the midst of danger and fear, but in this shadowy world, trust is risky. When his enemies turn to me for the secrets that could destroy him. I refuse to break, clinging to the hope that he will come for me. As I fight for survival, one question can we escape the darkness, or will it consume us both? This is a DARK fairytale retelling of Beauty and the Beast and contains HEAVY triggers. Reader’s discretion is HIGHLY advised. This is NOT the fairytale you know.
