Kyla's heartbreaking beauty and notorious sex appeal become her trademarks.

She meets Shard Phaylon, a suave and powerful young kingpin in the drug game. From the beginning, the mysterious Shard presents an alluring challenge that spoiled Kyla has never before had to face.

It is only after Shard commits the ultimate act of betrayal that Kyla discovers the disturbing truth about him—and learns an even more disturbing truth about herself."—P. [4] of cover.
