My name is Alyssia, and this is our story. It isn't a happy one and there is no happy ending. Not for me. And not for him. After planning a vacation for myself and my family I was on cloud nine. A luxury resort in Singapore with my husband and kids were what I had gone to sleep dreaming about for years. Then it all went wrong, and I was ripped away from them all and thrown in to hell itself. Then I met him. Dimitri. He saved me. Or did I save him? I became his light while he became my beautiful darkness. Trigger warnings - Human trafficking, violence and a lot of spice.

Alyssia: I use to love the sun. I would welcome the heat and sun kissed skin. Now? Now, the heat and muggy air feels too heavy on my lungs and it suffocates me. Being back with my children was a blessing and I was determined to rebuild my life for them, so I could be the mother they remembered and the mother they deserved. But I wasn’t the same woman I once was. And the darkest depths of my soul grieved for Dimitri. Dimitri: I told Alyssia she needed to go home to be back with her children. I told my men Alyssia needed to go home. I told myself she needed to go home. But I was lying to everyone including myself. I can’t live without my light. The monster within me is too vocal without her around. I am coming for you my love. And I will not be returning home until you are at my side - even if it means I have to take you all over again. Triggers - mentions of human trafficking, violence and darker themes throughout the book.
