"Less than an hour spent with you, Layla, and I was obsessed." He caught me spying on my enemies and could've had me killed. Instead, he says he wants to help. To give me a future, freedom, and most of all, revenge. I want that, too. I want everything he has to give… even though I know he's hiding something. I grew up around men like Matthew Langston-rich, powerful, above the law. He's dangerous and a whole lot of trouble. But when he treats me like a goddess, worshipping the ground I walk on, the fear for my future doesn't exist. Until I learn who he really is. They say love hurts-but they never mentioned it could make you bleed. His deceit was like wine. I drank it in. Let it intoxicate me. But he's not the man I fell for. Matthew Langston is a lie. I'd run from him if I could. I'd flee. If only he hadn't turned my family against me. Now, I have nothing. No money, phone, or external support. Only him, and his determination to win me back. So I'll use it to my advantage. I'll use him. Because he made a promise to help me get revenge on those we despise. And once that's over, so are we. The complete duet of Layla and Matthew's seductively thrilling story
