I’m the black hearted prince of Eton College, and she’s the unapologetic fireball who could eviscerate me... My best mate’s sister. My secret weakness. Don’t look. Don’t covet. And sure as hell don’t touch. I’ve never been a rule breaker... until Emma Varma.

Halfway around the world wasn’t far enough away to keep my best mate’s sister safe from our enemies... or my touch. I will have her. Even though she’s the beauty and I’m the beast. Emma Varma remembers me as the black hearted prince of Eton prep... but the hardened man I’ve become won’t be so easily burned. Her return to London has nothing to do with me and everything to do with retribution. Gone is the wild child I remember and in her place a striking beauty, tempting me with a second chance to break all the rules that I missed the first time... before I was man enough to make her mine.

Betrayal was such a simple word. But such a complex emotion. The woman I loved had turned her back on me. Taken everything I’d offered and thrown it away. I may have vowed to protect her, but she's thrown down the gauntlet. And no matter how much I crave her, there will be consequences. Emma Varma might be the beauty, but now she’ll meet the beast. I’ll keep my vow. I'll keep her safe from our enemies. But her soul and her heart will no longer be safe with me.

One miscalculation. One misstep had cost me everything. I lost my sister and my wife. I will burn down the world to get them back. Even if I have to become someone they fear. Forget vows, forget brotherhood. All I have left is rage. I have made promises I intend to keep. I will right the wrongs of The Elite, ensure vengeance for Emma, even if it cost me my soul.
