When grad school bills pile up and her friends are in trouble, she turns her art history skills into a forgery side hustle.

But I didn’t expect to be drawn to the devil. Just one taste of Max Hart, and I’m in trouble. Because Max isn’t just my rival; he’s the one person who can destroy everything I’ve been hiding, yet I can’t seem to stay away.

What the hell is Dominic Capelli doing in my club? Best guess, he wants revenge. I did shoot his father, after all. And, yeah, he’s looking at me like he wants to hurt me. The thing is … I’m very much into that. I know it’s a bad idea to play with him, but bad ideas are my favorite kind. And he's so very, very sexy.

But when a devastating fire reduces her restaurant to ash and leaves her crew without a roof over their heads, everything changes.

Not every "once upon a time" ends in a happily ever after. My fairytale, for instance, didn't come with a handsome Prince Charming, a night at the ball, or a magical pumpkin carriage. Instead, I got a bearded, bad-tempered king, a sex party for rich people, and a driver waiting to take me home after the royal asshole was finished with me. And they lived not so happily ever after. The end. That should be it, right? Even missing some conventional fairytale elements, it's clear no one is riding off into the sunset in the tale of the grumpy king and the naïve, much younger actress.

Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it's honest work. Okay, fine. It isn't honest either, but it means I get to eat. Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn't just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades. Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I'll help him become king.

When a handsome man with a smooth American accent comes to my rescue, I decide that the day might not be all bad. The problem is that it's not just my finger that's damaged; it's my heart as well, keeping me tied to a past that's long gone.

Then Molly crashes into my world with her sharp mouth, haunted eyes, and a fire I didn’t expect. She wants nothing from me. That only makes me want her more.

I've come to seek the truth. To put the law firm on trial for representing the man which tore my world apart. Hart Law must answer for their actions. I had it all planned out. I would take a job in their records department, access the relevant files to expose their cover up, and then blow them up in the press. That was until I laid eyes on Nathan Hart. Head of the firm, undeniably sexy and impenetrable. I know I shouldn't have, but I couldn’t resist just one night with the enemy. But that's when it all went wrong.
