Twisted

Twisted by Emily McIntire is a gripping dark romance that dives deep into the shadows of power, desire, and betrayal. This compelling novel, part of the viral BookTok sensation and penned by USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire, offers a fresh and unconventional reimagining of beloved characters from popular fairy tales.

Meet Yasmin Karam, the privileged daughter of one of the world's wealthiest men. Protected and pampered, Yasmin has never faced real hardship. However, her world begins to unravel when her father falls gravely ill. His dying wish? To see Yasmin wed to a man of his choosing. Torn by loyalty to her father and her own heart's desires, Yasmin is put in an agonising predicament. Her heart belongs to another - a servant, a man of the streets whom her father would never accept. Desperate, Yasmin makes a perilous pact with her father’s formidable right-hand man, Julian Faraci, unaware of his ulterior motives.

Julian Faraci's ambition knows no bounds. With a past marked by violence and ruthlessness, he has relentlessly clawed his way to the top, intent on becoming the most powerful man in the world. Facing the imminent loss of his mentor, Julian's future lies in jeopardy. Determined to secure his grip on power, he devises a plan to marry Yasmin, despite their mutual disdain. To Julian, Yasmin is a spoiled brat, but he is determined to claim her as his, using any means necessary.

As their worlds collide, Yasmin and Julian find themselves entangled in a web of manipulation, dominance, and forbidden attraction. What begins as a battle of wills soon transforms into a torrid and dangerous love affair, with both characters grappling for control. Yasmin's defiance and Julian's unyielding resolve lead to a passionate and volatile relationship that defies their expectations.
