Vicious

Some men leave scars you can't see. Baron "Vicious" Spencer left Emilia LeBlanc with something far worse — a decade of running.

Ten years ago, he was the cruel, untouchable billionaire's son who made her life in their small town a living nightmare. She was the housekeeper's daughter — pretty, passionate, and foolish enough to get close to a man built entirely of sharp edges. When she finally fled, she swore she'd never look back. Now she's a struggling artist carving out a life in New York, and Vicious has just walked through her door like the past never stopped chasing her.

He's a brilliant lawyer by day and something far darker by night, and he wants one thing: Emilia back in his world. She's forbidden on every level that matters — his best friend's ex-girlfriend, the girl who knows the secret that could destroy him — and he doesn't care about any of it. The rules have never applied to men like him.

But Emilia isn't the same girl who ran. She sees through his cruelty now, recognizes the hunger underneath the venom, and that terrifies her more than his coldness ever did. Because hating Vicious is easy. Wanting him is catastrophic.

Dark, intoxicating, and laced with tension that burns from the very first page, *Vicious* asks a devastating question: what happens when the man who broke you is the only one who truly sees you?
