Heartless Beloved: A Dark Romance

He's everything she's been warned against. She's everything he hates.

I'm from a place where you eat or get eaten. Two gangs are at war, and I'm hungry for survival. Growing up in a broken town doesn't make you a good man. In fact, the North Shore of the Falls has made me merciless. I survive because I'm a good soldier for the North Shore Crew. I'm cool-headed, I never lose sight of my goals, and my only obsession is with wrenching our town from the clutches of our sworn enemies: the Kings.

Alexandra Delacroix is just a job. Plain and simple. She lives in our neighboring town, in the millionaires' heaven they call Stoneview. The plan is straightforward: charm her, uncover incriminating information about her senator father, and tip the balance of power in our favor. But unlike the other rich girls from Stoneview I use as toys, Alexandra is kind, selfless, sweet. Sickeningly so. A bright pink cupcake with glitter and sprinkles on the icing.

We have nothing in common. Nothing but the secrets we keep. And before I know it, my priorities change. Before I know it, Alexandra Delacroix is my new obsession.

The second book in a series of four interconnected standalones, Heartless Beloved is a dark enemies-to-lovers romance featuring content readers may find triggering. It is intended for mature audiences.
