Vicious

When a brilliant, morally gray lawyer tracks down the starving artist who fled their small town a decade ago, their explosive chemistry is impossible to ignore—even though she despises him and he's bound by loyalty to his best friend. Emilia and this mysterious man share a dark history that nearly destroyed her once, but now that he's found her in New York, he's determined to rewrite their story, no matter how much she resists. Their reunion is a delicious dance of forbidden attraction, dangerous secrets, and the question of whether love and hate really are two sides of the same coin. If you crave intense, angsty romance with morally complex characters and a slow-burn dynamic that crackles with tension, this dark romance will absolutely devour your reading time.
