When Daisy finally escapes her overprotective gang lord brother's shadow long enough to fall for Christian—a dangerously independent guy who's been using her as a convenient distraction—neither of them expects their fake arrangement to become devastatingly real. But as Christian's carefully constructed emotional walls crumble and Daisy discovers what it means to want something just for herself, they're forced to confront the messy truth that in their dark London world, love always comes with a cost. With Julian's watchful presence looming and Christian's complicated past threatening to pull them under, this couple will have to decide if what they're building is worth the blood and chaos it demands. A gritty, swoon-worthy romance that proves sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is fall in love.
