What to expect
Readers love Gregory Ryans:
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ ‘Gregory is the morally grey, mysterious alpha male we can't help but love!’
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ ‘Sexy, brooding, possessive, detached, yet incredibly loving and generous when it comes to Scarlett.’
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ ‘He’s got enough tension and softness to him to make him a great character.’
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ ‘Gregory Ryans. You infuriating man. JUST LET SCARLETT LOVE YOU!!’
Scarlett: I loved Gregory Ryans with all of me.
And it still wasn't enough.
He was everything I wanted, but I should have known better. After all we’ve been through, he still didn't trust me with the truth.
I walked away from him, but Gregory Ryans is not one to give up.
Now he's offering me the deal of a lifetime: his heart. All his secrets. Him. Forever.
But at what cost?
Yes, there are things he’s kept from me. But there are also things – dangerous things – that even Gregory doesn’t know.
His enemies are still coming for us, and this time, we'll have to fight together. To save what we've built. To show that love like ours can't be destroyed.
I believe that.
But if he doesn’t, then it won’t only destroy us. It’ll destroy everything.
Obsession, redemption and a love powerful enough to burn the world down.
