Laikyn’s wedding day was doomed the second HE walked through the door. The man who had something to do with her sisters death. And now she’s forced to marry him instead? There’s nothing saying she has to love him. But can she resist the man behind the darkness? 

“𝘔𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘛𝘺𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐’𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘮.“

Tyson knew the deal he made with the Lords three years ago would pay off, but didn’t realize it would be HER. Whitney’s sister. She hates him, but that’s never phased him before. As long as he gets his revenge, he will make her his. 

“𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵. 𝘓𝘢𝘪𝘬𝘺𝘯 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. 𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭.“

‼️THOUGHTS‼️

This ties with The Ritual for my favorite of the books in the Lords world. I’ve been waiting on Tyson’s book since he was first introduced. This books was so good and I enjoyed every moment of it! 

The forced marriage. The degradation. The collar 🥵 Just so delicious! I’m interested to see what happens next with this world and how that BOMB dropped at the end will play out 😏
