When death claimed my parents, fate delivered me to him—my protector, my damnation, my foster brother.
At nine years old, I lost everything to a drunk driver's careless actions. Thrust into the Wilson's foster home, I found an unlikely guardian in Talon, whose fierce eyes and protective nature became my anchor in a world of chaos.
As years passed, our bond deepened into something darker, more possessive. But when they caught us together, they made sure our separation was absolute.
Now I'm at MIT, trapped in an engagement to a man whose true nature emerges behind closed doors. But Talon lurks in the shadows, his obsessive love a dangerous promise of salvation. His protection comes at a price, one collected in broken bones and fresh graves.
Some of the most beautiful love stories are written by the most damaged souls. Welcome to ours.
In a world built on control and manipulation, sometimes the only way to find love is to let the monsters win.

This was okay! I loved the darker elements - mostly watching these two go a bit psycho together - but I didn't love the writing. It wasn't an issue with the writing style itself as much as the fact that a lot of things didn't make sense to me, like Talon's self-contradictions (mainly how he kept leaving Lena alone for extended periods of time without intervening despite knowing, or at least being able to assume, what was happening to her). I felt like, if he were really as fiercely protective over her as he made himself out to be, there are a few things that shouldn't have happened. I also felt like the ending tied up pretty neatly without a lot of explanation for how they got away with things. Overall, it was fine, just not great.
