This story follows Violet, a 19-year-old attending a prestigious ballet school. Despite her focus on dance, Violet has family ties to the underworld, and her father and uncle have kept her in the dark—until now. When the family’s rivals target her due to past connections, Violet finds herself in their crosshairs. But can she resist the rival mafia’s monstrous enforcer?

The book was packed with tension and steam. Violet’s fiery personality constantly challenges Lucien at every turn, and I loved it. The anger and chemistry between them was intense. While Violet remains in the dark about her family’s secrets, Lucien struggles to resist her but ultimately falls hard. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the electrifying tension between these characters. Highly recommend the audiobook as its duet and the Irish accent is brilliant.
