The monster from under my bed is now the one in it. First of all, this is not a fairytale. There’s no Prince Charming. But there is a villain. An insidiously gorgeous devil with eyes that pierce through all my secrets, and a cold black heart pumping pure venom and conquest. But seven years after Noel Ransom scorched-earthed my life, I’ve come for my revenge. Except Noel’s come for something, too: me. Now, we’re locked in a marriage of sin. ‘Til death do us part. Or at least until one of us murders the other. But the deeper I sink into this vicious game of hate and lust, the harder it may be to ever get out. And the more entangled I become with Noel Ransom, the more the line between villain and lover becomes blurred forever. Burned Cinder is book 1 of the two-part Cinder Duet. Empire of Ash should be read AFTER this book. The completed duet is a standalone story and includes a HEA. This is a dark contemporary romance. Readers are advised to read the TW inside.
