A good read—I really enjoyed the storyline!
Lux is a girl born with a silver spoon. She belongs to the world of the rich and famous and has a habit of making people pay for crossing her—like ruining an auto repair shop just because the owner took her parking spot.
Slate, on the other hand, wasn’t born rich. He has no parents and takes care of his sick sister, whose condition no one can seem to diagnose. To cover her growing medical bills, he’s forced to work on the wrong side of the law.
Lux’s brother is addicted to drugs and ends up hospitalized after using a particularly dangerous one. Determined to get revenge, Lux makes it her mission to find and kill the supplier—known only as “The Wolf.” With no leads, she turns to Slate for help. She offers him: in exchange for his help finding The Wolf, she’ll get his sister an appointment with a specialist doctor. But the lines between business and personal start to blur as Lux and Slate begin to care for each other.
When Lux’s brother dies from an overdose, she spirals into a frenzy, obsessed with tracking down The Wolf. She pushes everyone away—including Slate. Can their connection survive Lux’s obsession? And when Slate’s secrets come to light, what will happen to their relationship?
This story has plenty of drama and spice—a wild ride from start to finish!
