Hadrian’s smile was slow and vicious. “The world is made up of peasants and kings. But I am no king. I’m an emperor.” I’m being hunted by my family’s enemies. To disappear, I take on a new identity and enter the opulent and sinful world of The Rex Hotel as Eden Smith. I’m safe. Until I meet him. Hadrian Rhys. Beautiful, mysterious and brutal—Hadrian is a man who uses his power to shape the world. He’s a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And he wants me. But Eden Smith is an alchemy of lies, a fabrication, a sham. Bloodlines, alliances, and murderous restitution lie buried deep within my past. My name is Sterling Miller. You won’t believe who I am.
