There’s no getting out.
Dax Carrington decides all the moves.
He’s always two-steps ahead of me.
An animal disguised in warm, privileged, snakeskin, he’ll sink his teeth into every inch of my soul until he owns all of it… all of me.
When I’m at my lowest, he’ll blindside me, pulling me back into his arms, continuing to win the match that I don’t know how to play and just want to escape.
The only problem?
In Dax’s world, the plot ends once he’s the last one standing and there’s nothing left but dust—including me.
Seeds of Malice is book one of the Wilted Kingdom duet. It’s a dark college bully romance between the rich kid and the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Dax and Ivy’s story continues in Book 2 of the Wilted Kingdom duet, Thorns of Malice. See author website for trigger warnings.
