'I almost had you,' William chokes.

I squeeze harder so his face goes red and his veins pop up. He's coughing up more and more breathless laughter. I look in his green eyes as I strangle the life out of him. They are so beautiful; just like Austen's, only there's no soul behind these ones. A capillary bursts in the white of his eye and it fills with blood. I have to to stop, for this psychopath's brother; for Austen. I don't want to, and it takes everything I have, but I do.

I let William go.

He sucks in air and heaves with mirth. 'I bet you want to break every bone in my body.'

Only the deepest of loves could cause the most shocking betrayals.

Obsession, secrets and lies could turn star-crossed lovers into enemies locked in a blood feud that will destroy both their families. Even if they discover the truth, can they fix the damage once it's been done?

What could be so terrible about the love of your life, that knowing it might kill you both? Austen and William Blazey are disowned and hiding a soul-destroying secret that only they, and possibly their girlfriends, know. That is until Mikhail Abramov, the youngest of eight brothers in the Russian mafia, comes crashing into their lives. His passionate sights are set on the horrified Austen, a mysterious recluse, and identical twin of William, a stormy young man. But will Mikhail discover the dark secret before it's too late? And what will he confront about his own dark and tragic past along the way?

A provocative story of high passion and emotion.
