Lauressa Kleen left a cult when she was seventeen and has spent the last ten years resisting all attempts by her family to drag her back in. So she knows better than to fall for all Jaxson Devine’s manipulations and lies to get her to join him in The Sovereignty, no matter how charming and handsome he is.But Jaxson knows all her desires. All her needs. All her fears. And he’s not above hurting her to get what he wants.Eventually, she sees the truth in his lies. The benevolence in his manipulation. The love in his cruel obsession. Even worse, she’s craves the heat of his arms around her, burning the loneliness away every time he hurts her.
Jaxson
Jaxson Devine doesn’t believe in providence or divinity. He knows The Sovereignty is a scam. But a legal scam, all because someone decided it was a religion and made it untouchable. He’s not above using his place in The Sovereignty as the son of the Oracle to attain the one thing he Power.Then he lays eyes on Lauressa Kleen and wonders if he might be mistaken about providence or divinity. Because only divinity could have created a woman as perfect as her. And only providence could have caused their meeting.Now he covets her.He’ll do anything to have her. He’ll shatter her and make himself the only one who can help her pick up the pieces. He’ll force her to make him her savior. And in the end, she’ll be grateful for it. less
