At the edge of a cliff, in the pouring rain, the man I once loved attacks me. His fingers tear at my flesh, his breath hot in my ear as he spews venomous words of hate and promises of death.

My only hope is Scythe. The psychopath locked away inside the mind of another. Letting him out will only cause chaos and violence. And yet, I utter his name and free him to save myself.

Scythe is nothing like Vincent. He's dark. Sarcastic. Sexy. The things he makes me do are wickedly sinful.

But secret.

Nash and War don't know what I've done. If they knew Scythe's true identity and the crimes he's committed, they'd kill him in a heartbeat.

I can't let that happen. The empire I'm building can't crumble.

Not when I need it to save my family from the streets. Not when half the battle is keeping my head while my heart is split between three men.

Not when the real killer is still out there, ready to ruin it all.
