Flame (Virtues & Lies #5)

GEORGINA GLADSTONE is brokenhearted. She gave in to the dark, twisted world she distanced herself from. Letting in the meanest of the monsters around her and falling for his black heart and blacker soul. Now, she can't walk away from Frederick Emsworth no matter how hard she tries. Lust has become an obsession—a love so great that it thwarts all reason. But in a world where each breath could be your last, will love really conquer all?

FREDDIE
I took a kiss and it stole my soul. Now, it doesn't matter how far I pull away. To protect my swan and save her from the darkness inside me. It doesn't matter how hard I push her away, because everything comes back to that

One moment. One kiss. One smile.

The more I resist, the greater my need for her becomes. It's impossible to let her go and reckless to keep her when the world around us threatens her every heart beat. I watch her from the shadows and guard her from afar. There is nothing I won’t do to keep her alive. No line I won’t cross or blood I won’t spill. Because I’m not a monster, I’m the Devil that will destroy your soul if you go near mine.

I am a moth enthralled by her flame.

Leaving only one certainty in this war—Georgina is my destruction and my end.
