Each time he touches me, I feel it deeper, its effect more profound. It digs deep into my soul, penetrating every wall I have ever built. Iβm weak against it, unable to fight the descent into oblivion with him, lost forever, and God knows I never want to be found. Not as long as Iβm with him.
At night in bed, just the feel of his breath against my skin has my blood instantly rushing to the surface, heat accelerating through my body, causing my head to spin with the promise of pleasure he delivers every single time.
Iβve never been one to play with fire, yet with him, I crave to burn. I pray for my destruction if it means I can find my ruin in his palms, his fingers, his mouth, his body. I never imagined that Iβd one day find myself in the arms of a man whose name once sent shivers down my spine. Now, his name ignites a sparkβno, a raging inferno that makes my body ache for him.
Alexius.
Alexius Del Rossa.
My husband.
The man I vowed to hate only to fall into the snake pit where my heart now only beats for him. I am his. I want only him. Every second spent with him is one moment closer to my undoing. I know it. I can feel it in my soul. Alexius would be the end of me.

MY REVIEW: βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ 5 out of 5
Alexius and Leandra are still working through their contract, but neither wants to continue with the contract. However, neither of them communicates their feelings or how they want to proceed. Alexius has pulled out all the stops to keep Leandra, but heβs not being honest about it.
Leandra has fallen hard for Alexius and sheβs happy that Alexius wants to ignore the contract and make their relationship real. As they grow closer, the danger still lurks and finds family members in the crossfire of the danger, and Leandra has a secret to share but sheβs not sure how it will be received.
This is a great continuation of the Dark Sovereign story of Alexius and Leandra. I am looking forward to more in the series and what the outcome will be for Alexius and Leandra. Secrets and danger are a part of their lives, but Alexiusβ betrayal to Leandra is the worst. I love the characters in this story and canβt wait for more to come. Bella Jβs stories always keep my interest from the beginning of the books until the end and further on. The stories always leave me wanting more of the characters and their stories. I give this book a 5-star review.
