I always hid in the shadows, feeling invisible. Simple, carefree, happy yet aimless...that was me. But everything changed the night that I met Matthew Devaro. I was mesmerized by his raw power and quiet authority. He looked like something out of a Grecian myth: so chiseled, refined and devastatingly handsome. He was easy to talk to and I thought we clicked. A chat at a bar, a coffee at his hotel room, and a single rose later, we found ourselves grudgingly connected. But the morning brought with it trouble and a whole new side to Matthew: cold-as-ice, arrogant and insanely wealthy. I delved into his opulent world, in a bid to protect the one thing I couldn’t bear to lose. This man who wanted for nothing, and had too much of everything, found himself needing someone...me. A deal was struck, and we had to deliver on it, but we clashed like fire and ice. I was sure that I despised him until suddenly…I wasn’t. Beneath the flames of disdain that flickered between us, I felt a bright new spark ignite. And as I cut through his complex layers and inched ever closer, I discovered the unexpected…my own strength, my own voice and...my own place in the light. The lines between good and bad, right and wrong blur in the first installment of the Tricked Series.
