When Roman joins an elite brotherhood to uncover the truth about a life built on lies, he doesn't expect to find his greatest obstacle—or his deepest obsession—in a glacial rival with sapphire eyes who seems to despise him on sight. But as Roman peels back the layers of corruption and secrets surrounding his world, he realizes that the cold, guarded man blocking his path might be searching for the same dangerous truths, and that the hatred crackling between them might just be a cover for something far more combustible. Perfect for readers who crave dark, complex enemies-to-lovers stories with high stakes and morally gray characters, this is a gripping start to an interconnected series that will have you desperate to uncover what lies beneath all these vile secrets. Fair warning: this one doesn't shy away from the messier, darker side of romance—come ready for intensity!
