Toxic. High risk. Dangerous. Maui Henderson’s connection to Mythic Semien is all the things she’s ever craved from a man. He’s everything her heart desires, but everything her family wants her to resist. Can you help who you fall in love with? It’s a question Maui ponders as she listens to her heart instead of her family. Mythic has persuaded her through his words, along with his actions, that he is the man meant for her. Passionate. Uncontrollable. Explosive. When forging a relationship with someone who is your total opposite, one of two things can happen. One can cause the other to level up and do better for themselves in life and love, or one can pull the other down to their version of the gutter. Mythic’s life seems to be at a standstill, all roads leading to danger and destruction. Maui sees differently, and her family refuses to accept her vision, despite her intellect. She chooses to follow her heart, alienating herself from all the people she loves. Intentional. Deliberate. Forgiving. Will Maui get used to living life without her family, or will her family eventually accept Mythic? Only time will tell how their relationship will play out, because what’s done in the dark always comes to light. There are secrets lurking in the past. Will their revelation hinder what they thought was inevitable, or will it heal tortured souls and allow them to move forward in love?
