About this ebook

An intense family rivalry keeps Paisely Grove and Hercules Valentine apart, even as fate keeps bringing them together. This scorching tale of forbidden love and intense family feuds promises to leave you breathless and craving more. 


Hercules Valentine—the boy who sat across from me in high school economics, the boy I could never let my heart want. Yet, from the first day I saw him, I was hooked. He was the boy I secretly dreamed of, and everything my family taught me to despise.


In a world where family grudges run deep, Hercules and I are forbidden. We come from rival bloodlines, enemies in every sense of the word, and loyalty demands I keep my distance. But the night before graduation, one unexpected encounter ignited a spark that hasn’t stopped burning.


Years later, fate has thrown us together again. This time, I have a job to do—a mission that could tear down everything he’s worked for, that could destroy any chance of us ever being more than enemies. If he finds out what I'm doing, he might hate me forever. Yet, whenever I'm near him or even look at him, my itch to break the rules blazes hotter than ever.


Will my loyalty to family outweigh my desire for the one man I can’t have? Or will this undeniable pull between us set a family rivalry aflame?


Perfect for fans of passionate romances with a touch of suspense and heart-stopping twists!

this book is very good with lots of drama. I enjoyed it . the only downside side is when you say it's 300 plus pages and then it's only just over 200. it's a little disappointing.

I loved this book! The feud between the Valentines and Groves is on. This book is not the same ole love story. It has twists and turns that will keep you intrigued. Paisley has a high school crush on a Valentine (Hercules) whom is forbidden due to the family feud. Hercules feels the same way but he feels obligated to protect his family. Will they ever finally break free from the feud that keeps them apart? Can’t wait until book 2!! A must read!
