Kade Mitchell has spent years in the criminal underworld, consumed by thoughts of Stacey Rhodes. She broke his heart and sent him spiraling into darkness, yet he cannot stop watching her from afar. He has eliminated anyone who gets too close to her, protecting and stalking her simultaneously. When Kade gets a temporary reprieve from his trapped existence, he returns home with one goal: to claim Stacey again. His obsession wars with his hatred as he breaks every personal rule he has set for himself. The magnetic pull between them remains as strong as ever, but Kade's rage runs just as deep. He despises her for what she did to him, calling her a snake disguised as an angel. Now face to face again, Kade must confront whether his desire for revenge can coexist with his undeniable attraction to the woman who ruined him.
