He's the memory that burns like poison. She's the obsession that devours his control.
Fable
They say angels only exist in heaven.
They’re wrong. Some are born into hell and learn to survive.
I was seventeen when I saved a beautiful stranger from dying in an abandoned garden.
He promised to kill the villain in my nightmares. Instead, he shattered my life.
At twenty-three, I’m still running from the evil in my past, and the stranger who betrayed me. He’s back. Colder, and in a position to destroy me again.
I hide in a gilded mansion where elites play, falling for a masked man who makes my body come alive.
But some prisoners earn favors.
And some saviors keep deadly promises.
Wes
They say monsters are made, not born.
They’re right.
Cruelty came from my father.
Survival came from the girl who healed me when I was meant to die. She was a glimmer in the darkness, then she betrayed me. Or so I was told.
Now she’s standing in front of me, a grown woman with haunted eyes and a hatred for me I don’t understand.
She doesn’t know I’m the man behind the mask, bringing her desires to life. She doesn’t know I own her world.
An angel once saved me, and I failed her.
This time, I’ll keep my promise and reveal who I truly am.
Even if it makes her hate me more.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"Prepare to have your heart wrecked!"
This is a dark story, that is traumatic, intense, mysterious, chaotic, emotional and spicy. You will be taken on a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end as Wes & Fable find each other again and overcome their trauma that was brought to them."
"I know this is a bit of a dark story, and it is, but despite the trauma, the darkness, the questionable surroundings, this is a sweet story. There is just something so lovely about two broken pieces fitting together so perfectly. I think of them as kintsugi stories. They are stronger for their broken parts, not weaker."
"Great read. It didn’t hang each chapter in a cliffhanger needing more of your attention. It left you with wanting to know more about each character. Very well written plotline."
"My first book to read by by Tara Gallina, certainly won't be my last, I devoured it! The sweet and gentle Fable, to the delicious Earl Wes, lost to one another through lies, deceit and misfortunes."
"This story is such an intense, mysterious, and spicy read that kept me glued to my Kindle!"
