Leo
Princess Piper Acevedo, my long-buried teenage crush, resurfaces when I take control of her family’s underworld empire. She’s a temptress, her gaze as dangerous as it is seductive. Though she’s determined to destroy me, I am obsessed with her. Our deceitful game, where I stalk her every move, is playing with fire, but for Piper I’m willing to go to hell and back.
Even if it means risking everything.
Piper
Leo Rivera, the self-proclaimed king of Palm Springs, stole my family legacy. Despite his devilishly handsome appeal and the devotion he receives from all, I despise him, and I won’t rest until my crown is firmly back in place.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but I prefer it searing. When I discover he still holds a flame for me, I turn up the heat in a way I know he can’t resist. But the closer I get, the more past feelings resurface, and the game becomes awfully real.
I wonder, what if I could have it all— Leo and the crown? But my life has never been that simple.
