Description
A dark contemporary romance from viral BookTok and USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire, featuring reimagined characters from popular fairy tales and other stories.
Venesa Andersen has always known one truth: she was never good enough. Not for her exacting parents, nor for the ruthless gangster uncle who took her in after their untimely demise. Despite these setbacks, she has honed her cunning and uses her beauty as a tool to navigate the treacherous world she inhabits. Venesa remains dutiful to her uncle's demands, but she has no time for a moral compass—until her runaway cousin steps back into her life, bringing with her a man who unknowingly alters Venesa's course forever. This man sees her in a way no one ever has, unsettling the carefully constructed facade she has built around herself.
Enzo “Loverboy” Marino lives a double life. By day, he is a respectable, wealthy businessman; by night, he transforms into the prince of La Cosa Nostra, an underboss answering only to his formidable father, the reigning don in the northeast. Enzo's life is a delicate balance of power, duty, and obedience. When he is ordered to marry, Enzo complies without hesitation. That is, until he encounters his fiancée’s cousin—Venesa Andersen.
Venesa captivates Enzo in ways he never anticipated. Her sultry voice and intoxicating allure awaken desires he thought long-buried. Despite his instincts screaming to keep his distance, Enzo can't help but be drawn to her. Yet, he knows all too well that in his world, a life devoid of desire and attachment is far safer. As their paths entangle and their hearts defy family loyalty, both Venesa and Enzo face an agonising choice: adhere to the demands of their families or succumb to a love that should have never blossomed.
Hexed joins the Never After series as a dark and seductive reimagining of a classic tale, skilfully twisted into a new, enticing shape for mature readers.
