Nick Hudson has a dangerous reputation.
That's what I need if I'm going to survive.

I’m falling into a world of luxury and sin.
With every twist and turn, I need more.
Except this is not a man to love.
This is a man to fear.
His obsession grows. So does the threat, until I'm trapped in a world of depravity. I'll need more than Nick's strength to survive. I'm going to need his heart.
My Review:
From the moment Lyriope Bailey walks into the Morelli mansion, she sees that everything around her exudes opulence and power. From afar she can see the Morellis work the room with a confidence and skill that can only be born with. They all represent what she has always desired, including having the Morelli name. Yet as the bastard child of Bryant Morelli, Lyriope doesn’t have the luxury of being part of the family like the rest of her half siblings or having access to the immense family fund. There is curiosity in her for wanting to see her family, but there is someone else that catches her eye at the party.
Nick Hudson is an extremely wealthy and connected man in Bishop’s Landing. There is a mystery to him that attracts Lyriope the minute she sees him. It’s his dangerous reputation that is known in the underbelly of the dark world and Lyriope wants access to his private club, Wonderland. It’s when her life is at risk that she turns to Nick for help. But there is a price for everything when it comes to Nick and he wants her virtue as payment. Lyriope doesn’t realize just how much her life is about to change the minute she signs the contract that will bind her to Nick in every way. As she gets to know the other side of Nick that people don’t get to see, Lyriope finds herself falling for him and his twisted world.
I loved all the Alice in Wonderland references throughout the book! Nick is a villain with a past that has made him who he is, but underneath the persona he portrays there is a kind and protective man that wants to keep Lyriope safe. It’s his job to know everything about everyone in his world and he is the perfect person Lyriope could have asked for help. On the other hand, Lyriope knows exactly what she wants and she is not afraid of some darkness whatsoever. If anything, she is more drawn to it than anything else. But there is an even bigger darkness that wants her and she needs to find out why. This book does end with a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next book in the trilogy! I would highly recommend checking it out if you love a dark steamy romance with a twist. :)
