My father was a King and had built his kingdom from the ground up with his best friend Ryker. But the crown weighs heavy on the head, and it had killed him when I was fourteen years old. And it had started the domino effect of destroying my life. I fought my way through the streets to survive and thought enough time had passed for me to safely return to my home; I’d only wanted to watch from a far. I’d been wrong to think I could just watch though because the new King, my father’s best friend has decided that it’s time for me to take my rightful place on the throne. As his Queen. Ryker Lawson is a ruthless King, using fear and pain to eliminate threats to his people, but it’s come at a cost. His soul is now as dark as his city. He wants to own me. Consume me. Possess my every thought and craving and also cater to my every need. His desires are darker than his soul and if I'm not careful, he'll devour me with them. Can passion glow through the darkness?
