Crossed (Never After, #5)

by Emily McIntire

It’s a cruel place here on earth, filled with people who don’t get it. Who choose not to understand that just because someone is different, it doesn’t mean they’re less than.

Most importantly, I learned not to trust anyone who says they love you, because in the end, they always love themselves the most.

But temptation is a devastating mistress. It’s not my fault, I remind myself. I’m only human. And she is…all- consuming.

Like hellfire.

“She may be your wife, but she is my soul,” I whisper against his ear. “And I will cut you up piece by piece and burn your empire until it’s soot, just so I can watch her be queen of the ashes.”
