From the author of Take My Heart: She always plays it safe . . . until he steps into her life, awakening dangerous desires within her.
Alexandra's always been a good girl. Growing up the daughter of a senator, she never dared to stray from the path traced by her father. And after being kidnapped for twenty-four hours and held for ransom, her safety becomes priority number one for her powerful family, making her even more sheltered.
A year later, Alex still secretly thinks of the masked man who held her captive and the twisted desires he awakened in her. When she gets stuck on the wrong side of town on her first day of college and meets moody, dangerous Xi, she feels that thrill creeping back in.
Xi's known for being merciless, but above all, he's known for his loyalty to the gang he joined at a young age. So when the North Shore Crew asks him to dig up dirt on Senator Delacroix, he doesn't think twice about seducing the man's daughter.
But Xi didn't expect the good girl to crave his dark side and create chaos in his heart. After years of being fixated on nothing but an ongoing territory war with the Kings, he never imagined he'd be consumed by an entirely new obsession.
Love is a risky game, one in which anyone could lose their heart while playing. And the deeper Alex and Xi fall, the more dangerous their secrets will become . . .
Heartless Beloved is a dark, bad boy/good girl romance featuring a morally pitch-black MMC, forbidden love, graphic sex scenes, and violence. It is intended for mature audiences.
