'it was annoying how pretty he was when he was angry. ✦ the way both Warrehn and Samir deluded themselves into thinking it was still the drugs lmao. ✦ possessiveness, obsessiveness, jealousy, codependency. people said losing someone one hated passionately was as difficult as losing someone one loved - and as difficult to move on from.' 'after all, it was possible to be obsessed with a man you hated and despised. ✦ enemies to lovers, forbidden love, forced proximity. why are her stories so addictive? i swear, if i pick up a book by AH, i can't put it down until i finish it. ✦ how does AH keep doing it? i don't understand. What will Samir do when he has to choose? Can love win over hatred and their parents’ messy, toxic past? He loves his mother, but his attraction to Warrehn is like a powerful drug, consuming him and changing him in ways he hasn’t expected. They have no future together when Warrehn and his mother are determined to crush each other. He knows this thing between them is hopeless.

Warrehn unsettles him and makes him behave like another person entirely, someone Samir barely recognizes: someone desperate and shameless. Samir has never been the object of such intense hatred-and such intense passion. Unfortunately, protecting his mother means being part of her plans to keep Warrehn from the throne, which only makes Warrehn despise him more.īut when he and Warrehn are thrown together in circumstances beyond their control, they have to learn to put up with each other. Samir never thought he’d have to play the part of the villain. He knows Samir can’t be trusted, but Warrehn can’t seem to stay away from him. When he returns to reclaim his throne, all he wants is to punish the usurpers: the woman who killed his family, and her son, Samir, who has grown up to be as beautiful and as poisonous as his mother. His family brutally murdered and his throne stolen, Prince Warrehn has planned his revenge for twenty years.
