Venom and Lace by Dani Antoinette

Not all monsters hide under your bed. Some of them entice you into theirs.

Being blackmailed into being the fake fiancé of Chicago’s most eligible bachelor was nothing compared to what was coming. Ryzen Goodacre’s ruthless pursuit to be number one had made him one of the richest men in the city, but I was about to pay the price for his ambitions.
Most women would kill to be in my shoes. Unfortunately for him, I wasn’t like most women. Prove to the world we’re madly in love and follow the rules. Otherwise, he would crush my dreams with the snap of his fingers.
But there was one thing I hadn’t counted on. And by the time I saw him coming, it was already too late.
Haunted by a past that has left him with scars that can never be healed, Cian Blackwood’s bitter rivalry with Ryzen has me trapped in a twisted game where the line between right and wrong was more than just blurred. It was downright sinful.
Possessed by the need for revenge, Cian will destroy anyone who stands in his way.
Including me.
And my heart.
