About this book

Defiant Queen Keira finds herself trapped in a dangerous power dynamic with Mount—a man who's equal parts irresistible and terrifying, forcing her to navigate the minefield between desire and self-preservation. As she's determined to keep her heart guarded against his intensity, Mount has entirely different intentions, and the tension between them becomes a battle of wills neither saw coming. This continuation of their story is dark, steamy, and absolutely gripping, filled with the kind of complicated chemistry that makes you question everything. If you're ready for a hero and heroine locked in a struggle for control—both over each other and themselves—this is the sequel that'll have you racing to the conclusion.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
intoxicatingdangeroussensualdefiantmagnetic

Dark, intoxicating tension between desire and danger. Moody R&B, sultry indie, and industrial pop—artists like The Weeknd, FKA twigs, and Halsey. Sensual yet menacing. Perfect for power dynamics, forbidden attraction, and the thrill of losing control.
