Atticus is dead to me. But walking away isn’t an option when Seven and Elijah still need my help. For them, I’ll do anything. I’ll put on a mask and become someone else. I’ll slip into Ambrose’s world, play the part of his lost daughter, and dig up the secrets that can finally tip the scales in our favor. But Ambrose is more ruthless than we ever imagined. Colder. Smarter . A monster who built his empire on blood and lies. And the deeper I go, the more the lines between hunter and prey begin to blur. Now the only way out is together—even if that means trusting the man who betrayed me. Atticus swears he’ll burn the world down before he lets their enemy hurt me, and part of me wants to believe him. To believe he’s as sorry as he seems when he grovels. Because if we can’t put the past behind us, we’ll lose the only thing we have left. Each other. Black Heart Painted Gold is a dark, high-heat revenge romance with ruthless, morally gray antiheroes, and an undercover heroine who walks right into the lion’s den.
