Blurb

It's the late 18th Century and the Industrial Revolution has set a divide between the world's rich and poor. Within the concealed cracks of luxury and power hides a booming dynasty that thrives on the sexual slavery of young men and women; a rising bloodline that runs too deep for the governments moral compass to break. Where every kink you harbor and dark secret you desire can be bought with a price.

When Cinesra Calvert wakes up in a glass cage full of bodies. She counts the dead to alive, but doesn't know which one she is just yet. Memories begin to come back to her and she stitches her kidnapping together. Stolen from the bakery that she spent her childhood in, taken away from her mother and baby sister she is forced into a world where evil kisses every bone of the men that captured her. He is everything she hates.

With every brothel whore and human pet to chancellor and judge wrapped around his father's fingertips, Micah Waitstill is the city street's wicked prince. Born into the embers of lust and money, he's never known anything else. As the eldest brother and next in command of the family reign, he gets gifted a silver haired girl by his uncle out of the blue. She is nothing he needs.

Together, they are poison.
