My brother arranged for me to marry a stranger, one marked with a diagonal scar across his face and a tattoo necklace on his hand.
Neither disgusts me. They also aren't what scares me.
Kirill Petrov's a sworn enemy of our family and King of the Underworld. A towering man with darkness in his gaze, an unspoken promise of what he'll do to me, and something so deep in his expression it hurts my heart.
Yet the blaze of his allure only grows hotter, singing, until I can't resist him any longer... until I'm his Queen wearing his necklace night after night, staring at the beast inside his soul.
If I could, I'd kill that beast until the world saw my husband as the man I see—the man I love.
Except I give him my heart before I learn the full truth. And once you see the unforgettable, how can you go back? How can you forgive your husband for sins that aren't his, yet he's tied to? Especially when the people you love got hurt in the most vile of ways?
