Popular. Well-liked. Respected by the locals. On paper, Maddox Walsh has the ideal life, but like all shiny things, you don't unearth what's hiding beneath the surface until the gleam wears off. His handsome package is harboring a secret--a secret so big, there's a chance not even his family's stellar reputation could salvage it. My family's name is also well-known, it's just dosed with disdain anytime it's mentioned. We're feared instead of revered, hated instead of admired, and if my uncle has it his way, we won't just be responsible for Maddox's downfall, we will end his reign entirely. Men like Maddox Walsh don't belong in our world. The heirs born to rule this realm barely make it out of the carnage unscathed, but stubbornness is a Walsh trait. They don't give it up for anyone. Not the risk of being scorched, not a threat of tarnishing their family name, not even murder has them backing away. There's only one thing capable of taking Maddox down, and that one thing is me. Maddox is a fast-paced messy romance between two people at opposite ends of the reputation ruler. It has scenes that may be distressing for some readers. Caution is advised.
