Hael River has no idea what’s coming for her.
The sins she’s going to pay for.
Her father is to blame.
But I’ll take her hate if it means I can bask in her light.
I’m not a nice man.
Not even a tolerable one.
When my employee’s threaten to quit, I do nothing to stop them.
After they see what her presence does to me, though, they fight to turn her hate into love.
Can a woman like Hael ever love a man like me?
I doubt it, but I’m still going to stake my claim.
As my assistant says: It’s about damn time Dark Ruelle gets what’s coming to him.
