This is what I mean by dark romance with toxic elements. I wasn’t particularly fond of the characters, but the insane chemistry between the MCs was remarkable. Their every moment had an easy flow. Absolutely well written that conveys the emotions just right. A book where the villain stays the villain and the FMC accepts all that with her entire heart, they get their retaliation and a happy ending.
Wendy Michaels is tired of being the one expected to smile through every obstacle. She's always been kept in the dark by her father, the man she idolized without question. Now hardly ever present, leaving her to fend for her brother all by herself. Her world turns upside down the moment she meets James Barrie, a mysterious man she feels an instant connection with, who draws every traitorous desire out of her. James is not the prince charming she believes; he is here to carry out a mission to destroy Wendy's father, Peter Michaels, and everything dear to him, just like he stripped him bare of his. But he can't deny the way his darkness relishes in Wendy's all consuming light. The way she ignites him from within and makes him lose control. Falling for the enemy's daughter might not turn in favor of his plans, not when members of his inner circle start betraying him and ghosts of his past come to surface.
