This is a dark Romeo & Juliet retelling with a whodunit twist and a HEA. Damon is a morally ambiguous anti-hero, willing to do anything to keep his girl.
I was groomed to hate Damon Maxwell, but he insisted I was destined to become his.
One night with a masked stranger turned my world upside down. What should have been an anonymous experience ended with me facing off against my family’s nemesis.
His name is Damon Maxwell, the charismatic CEO and a beloved philanthropist. The world chants his name, but he is the last man who should’ve caught my attention. My family is convinced Damon is connected to my cousin’s murder and that darkness lingers behind his charming facade. However, Damon claims I am his destiny and refuses to leave me alone.
Desperate to uncover the truth, I play with fire by spending time with him. As his obsession grows, he is determined to burn anything to stand between us to the ground. The closer we become, I am plagued with more questions than answers.
Is he truly the golden boy as painted by the public?
Or is he a villain who has trapped me in his web of seduction?
Author’s note: Damon isn’t a normal romance hero and, in fact, shouldn’t be considered a hero at all.

Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Two warring families. The Maxwell and the Ambani’s are huge names in the business world and at one point had the opportunity to work together until Damon Maxwell father opened his mouth and ruined everything. Poppy is a Ambani and her father groomed her to be the CEO one day. They both were destined for great things. Poppy is a little bit of an odd on.She believes she is unable to love and has a goth style about her. But I really loved Poppy. She had a huge heart when it came to her family and there is no doubt she loved them and would do anything for them. I wouldn’t say that she had a ton of friends. Mainly Rose her cousin who by the way has it bad for Damon. But Damon has only ever had eyes for Poppy. So much so that he follows her all the time. She knows he is there I believe but in some ways she got a kick out of not knowing who was with her at some really difficult times in her life. This is their love story and it is a little twisted. I can’t say that one part of this book didn’t shock me. You just have the read and find out what it is. This is my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed it. This is a complete story thought I feel like we will see Poppy and Damon in the next book since it is about her cousin and his twin brother. I for one can’t wait to read it.
