About this ebook
Succession meets Black Mirror with the morally gray heat of Scarlett St. Clair and the addictively immersive realities of Rebecca Yarros, as obsession takes center stage in this steamy, neon-lit, dystopian romantasy twist on Snow White and the Huntsman, set in a seductive world of money, power, billionaires, and the dangerous desires that drive them.
Mirror, Mirror . . . Innocence or Sin. The reflection holds a darker truth.
ALEXEI
I’ve spent the last seven years in the hell of a maximum-security prison, every moment consumed by the need for revenge—revenge against the bastards who framed me, and revenge against the family who stole everything I owned. Now that I’m finally free, nothing will stand in my way. Not even her—my hot as sin new lawyer. Maybe she’s another weapon sent by my enemies to break me, or maybe she’s the key to my freedom. Either way, once she’s mine, I’m never letting her go.
ROSALIE
When I took this case, I thought I had it under control. But Alexei is no typical convicted killer—he's a dangerously seductive force of nature. Perhaps it's the lingering power from his days as heir to a global social media empire. Innocent or not, he's dangerous in the worst and best ways.
I secure Alexei’s release as we prepare for a new trial, but he wastes no time turning against his traitorous relatives and plotting his return to power. Amidst the chaos, our explosive chemistry ignites, putting us—and everyone I care about—in the crosshairs of ruthless enemies. If we can’t stop them, Alexei plans to burn the whole world down. And if anything, he’s a man of his word . . .

Loved this book! This is a creative, and very adult, retelling of a classic fairytale. The characters are great - I even loved the homicidal Alexei. Despite his toughness, there's something endearing about him - especially when he allows a glimpse of his soft center. Fans of the genre will love this book. Its a clever story and the romance is sexy and spicy. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Dark and Deadly!! This Grimm tale of murder and betrayal is off the charts fantastic. Futuristic but not in the realm of way out there. You’re gonna need gloves this one is a scorcher. Death has its own whisper. Rosalie Mooncrest is a lawyer assigned to get Alexei out of prison for murder. The more they investigate the more twisted things become. Hold on to your hats people this one is a keeper.
