Why we recommend it
A combustible enemies-to-lovers opener for readers who like their tension laced with menace. Old grudges and a dangerous attraction collide as two people who should despise each other find the line between hatred and obsession dissolving. Expect simmering hostility, morally grey power plays and a heroine who refuses to be cowed. Sharp, sensual and steeped in the kind of high-stakes drama that fuels a binge-worthy series.
