A hero. A villain. A world-ending threat. When the line between love and hate blurs, nothing—and no one—is safe.
Zoey Weeks is the leader of the Sentinels, Speare City’s elite team of superheroes. To her, the world is simple: she is the ultimate good, and Titan—her archenemy—is pure evil. When she finally discovers Titan’s true identity, she believes victory is within reach. Gabriel Montesco, a brilliant, charming billionaire, is a man destined for a life behind bars if Zoey has anything to say about it.
But the battle she’s preparing for is nothing compared to the threat that arrives next. A powerful interdimensional warrior declares the world his, and Zoey and her team are powerless to stop him alone. Their only hope? Turning to Gabriel and the dark, dangerous forces he commands.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with her enemy, Zoey learns more about their shared past and uncovers secrets that prove Gabriel wasn’t born a villain—he was made one. As the line between hatred and desire blurs, Zoey finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about good, evil, and the man she’s been told to despise.
When betrayal strikes from within, Zoey must make the impossible choice: cling to the safety of her superhero life, or risk it all for the villain she never meant to love.
Christine Davidson developed a love for music at a young age, but she could never pursue her passion. Stuck in a job she hates and a life she doesn’t want, Christine leaps at the chance to become the personal assistant to a living music legend.
Born with a face so disfigured that his own parents looked on him with disgust, world-renowned composer and producer Erik Roux keeps himself isolated on his sprawling estate, away from prying eyes and horror-filled stares. Five years ago, the woman he thought he loved shattered his heart and destroyed what remained of his humanity. Now, shackled by a record label facing bankruptcy and no desire to put out new music, he is resolved to live alone, guarding his heart against further disappointment. However, when Christine sweeps into his home, she tempts him as no woman has with her bold desire and angelic singing. Christine, in turn, finds herself quickly entranced by the enigmatic genius with a sinful voice who insists on hiding his face from her.
Lust and music bring them together, but Christine wants more from Erik. She wants his love and trust, but his fear of her rejection keeps him wary and distant. Erik’s latest masterpiece, paired with Christine’s voice, could save his label and propel her to stardom, but past heartbreaks reappear, ripping open soul-deep scars that threaten the shaky foundation of their relationship. Christine must fight for Erik’s humanity as he falls deeper into despair, or she will have to walk away from the man who has enraptured her heart, claimed her soul, and given life to her song.
