Blaine and Mira are forced into a marriage neither of them wants, but their crime families have ordered it. To say Blaine and Mira don’t care for one another is an understatement, but they’re determined to manage this inconvenient marriage. As they’re managing things, turns out their spouses aren’t as terrible as they first thought. They confide dark family secrets to one another, hoping betrayal isn’t the result of their moments of vulnerability.

Blaine and Mira’s story was interesting, but loving the bad boy, Blaine makes the story for me. It took time for trust to build between them, and they both had to search within themselves to be able to move forward to eventually reach their HEA. The story was interesting and layered. There are funny moments between Blaine and his brothers Marcus, Liam, and Louis. All are very different, but will defend one another against anyone and anything. I really loved that about them.

This is my first book by Nora Ash, and what a great introduction. Make no mistake, this book is dark, ugly, and violent. Blaine’s family runs the biggest crime family in London, with his father William at the helm. He and his brothers are heirs, and his father will do whatever it takes to keep his family at the top.

Shane East and Rachel Knight narrate this suspenseful, dark, erotic tale.
