“I know your secret. I know who you are.” I’ve stolen someone’s identity. The whole world has been looking for me. My powerful, ruthless father. His allies. His enemies. The almighty of Zion, the island I’ve been hiding on for two years. But the man who blackmails me is the worst of them all. At least, that’s the rumor. Raven, the dark “handler” of Zion. Smart. Heartless. Dangerous. “I will keep your secret. For a price,” he tells me. The price? Me. For two months. They say I should fear him. He says I am his sweet prize. We set the rules: no violence, no force, no kissing… But weeks into the deal, the fire between us is something neither of us can resist. I thought he’d use me. He said he’d break me. Turns out, he is the broken one, hiding a bruised heart behind a ruthless disguise. The more time we spend together, the more I want his dark heart to be mine. We wanted to play a game. Two people. One deal. Turns out, we started a war. They say to win a war, you have to sacrifice. But we realize too late that in this war, we can’t win unless we sacrifice each other… * It is strongly recommended to read the previous four books in the Ruthless Paradise series to better understand Zion's history and the chemistry between the characters. The book is part of a duet and ends on a cliffhanger. It contains situations for mature readers only.
