Description
Violet Cole has spent her whole life slipping through the cracks—quiet enough to be overlooked, determined enough to survive, and desperate enough to do whatever it takes to protect the only person who matters.
One choice was all it took to shatter the careful life she built.
One drug she never meant to create.
One night that spirals out of control.
Now the city is hunting for the girl who made Zephyra… and the most dangerous man in New York gets to her first.
Asher Redmont rules the underground with ice in his veins and blood on his hands. He doesn’t believe in coincidence, and he definitely doesn’t believe in letting go of something once he’s claimed it—including the quiet chemist who should have never crossed his path.
He says he’s protecting her.
She knows she’s being trapped.
But the longer she’s in his world—his shadowed halls, his locked doors, his too-steady gaze—the harder it becomes to tell the difference.
Because danger isn’t the only thing closing in. The fire between them might burn hotter than the war her creation ignited.

Advance Praise
First, I want to just say that this book had me in a freaking chokehold. The way that Asher just takes whatever he wants and then keeps it has me weak in the knees. I loved the depth of this story. The way every page drew you into the storyline further. It made you want to turn the page immediately to see what happened next. I felt what the fmc was feeling. I felt what the mmc was feeling. The agony in the pages. I seriously loved these characters. This is a dark romance and Asher hits all the boxes. He makes you hate him then love him while you hate him. He is broody and also a little soft in only certain moments. And who doesn't love a man willing to burn everything down for the woman? I have found my new book boyfriend and I'll fight every single one of you :P — Goodreads Reviewer
I really enjoyed this story. It's a lot different then what I normally read witch is quite refreshing. I thought it was a great read with great banter from the characters in this story. as well as some scenes that made me chuckle. I absolutely loved and thought it was absolutely creative that the author had the main characters of the book be the one that tell you the trigger warnings. Some of them put a smile on my face. I liked seeing the growth that both the mfc and the mmc had. If your wanting a story that is different with an out spoken female character this is definitely it. — Goodreads Reviewer
This book is a MUST read I couldn't put it down and wouldn't stop yapping about it to my husband, it's real and so captivating. The spice was 🤌🏻 definitely a 10/10 — Goodreads Reviewer
