'Not everything dangerous is bad.

'From the moment Angelina laid eyes on him, she fell into a fantasy. Mysterious, foreign, gorgeous, Haithem offered her what she needed most—a chance to feel again.

'But Haithem is much more than he appears to be. He lives in a world of danger where everything comes at a price.

'For Angelina, that price is her future.

'He's ensured the life she's left behind is in tatters. Made her family believe she's dead. He talks about protecting her, about keeping her safe, but she can't distinguish his truth from his lies. She can't separate her pleasure from his betrayal.

'Haithem warned her. He told her he'd make her heart race, her body come alive, and her most primal needs rush to the surface. His for the taking.

'He didn't say she'd come to love the devil who's destroying her, even as he keeps her prisoner.' (Publication summary)

'He always keeps his promises...Angelina has sacrificed everything to be with the man she loves. Forced to abandon her family, and even her own identity, Angelina depends on Haithem as never before. With no more secrets between them, Haithem has become the source of all her needs. Sexually. Emotionally. But not even Haithem can hide forever. While they're sneaking across borders, avoiding persecution from everyone who would see Haithem dead and his prototype stolen, the media storm surrounding Angelina's disappearance continues to mount. For Angelina, it's a brutal reminder of what she's left behind and the pain she's caused to those who believe her dead or held against her will. To Haithem, it's a warning: he stands to lose the one person left in his life he loves beyond measure. The hunt won't be called off until his enemies have destroyed him, his life's work and everyone involved -- including Angelina. He has only one choice. He's promised to protect her. And Haithem always keeps his promises.' (Synopsis)
