NEVER FALL FOR AN ANGEL

From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew Mila Carpenter was put on this earth to ruin me. She’s the unobtainable—the girl with the pretty soft eyes and a heart made of sunshine, whiskey, and that little bit of addiction that keeps you coming back for more.

I told her I’d hunt her down if she ever chose to run. I never thought she’d actually try. Unfortunately, there’s a part of me that lives in her, and not a single person on this planet could cut it out. Not even her.

She’s burrowed her way into every one of my thoughts. Every one of my fantasies. My soul . . . and now all that’s left are the charred remains of what used to be my self-control.

She put a bullet in my chest. Now, she’ll pay for it with her life.

She thinks she can escape me.

Silly girl.

I’ll always find her.

The devil doesn’t just give up what belongs to him.

And I don’t plan on starting now.

 

Christian Cross is the kind of poison you don’t realize you’re drinking until it’s too late. Tall, dangerous, and as handsome as the devil—he’s the one man I’ve never been able to have, but the only one I’ve ever wanted.

Even when I left him to bleed out on a cold and lifeless rooftop and ran.

One doesn’t simply shoot Christian Cross and get away with it.

There are always consequences.

I never thought that when he caught up to me, his arms would be the only place I’d feel safe. But when secrets come to light, and my past comes knocking, the man who’s taken me hostage is the only one I can count on.

Falling in love with him was easy. Keeping him is my ruin.

The moment our worlds collided, there was a part of me that knew I would follow Christian Cross to hell if it meant I could spend eternity by his side.

I chose to be his.

—Even before I knew he’d tricked me into marrying him.
