ARES I left her once. Walked away before I carved her into my soul completely. Now I’m back— She thinks she’s stronger now, colder now… But I remember her shiver. She thinks I’m her mistake. But I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life. The girl I left behind has become a woman who can match my darkness. And now that I’ve tasted her again, I won’t survive another goodbye. And I’ll break her down until she remembers too. MINERVA I told myself I was done with devils like him. But Ares Mezcal doesn’t knock—he takes. One look, one word, and I’m back in the fire. He doesn’t give love, he gives obsession. And I drink it like it’s the only thing keeping me alive. I forget to be afraid. And maybe that’s what makes him dangerous. This is Book 3 of The Crimson Vice Series. Reading Order: Twisted Vows, Twisted Desire, Twisted Fury, Twisted Inferno, Twisted Game and Twisted Reign.
