A dark contemporary romance from viral BookTok and USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire, featuring reimagined characters from popular fairy tales and other stories. *** A woman can be great, and terrible too. Evelina Westerly has always been “the bad guy”. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her family s drug empire, she s her father s ruthless secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister s murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn t have time for anything else. Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, she s sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways. Until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey...under a totally different name. But Nicholas Woodsworth s real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. He s an undercover DEA agent, and he s hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realises the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he s been fantasising about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust within him. Evelina embodies everything he s against, and he s been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about the darkness in each other s hearts, the more alike they seem and when hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he can love a wretched woman…even if it means bringing both of their lives to ruin.
