A dark inspired Eros & Psyche story featuring a lawyer and a mafia princess and a marriage of convenience. Ariana Ricci is a girl with demons, abused and haunted by her mother’s actions, living a life that she can’t control, and the only thing she’s ever loved was her ballet... which she was forced to give up. She’s been conditioned to expect every single interaction with someone to have a cost, that nobody would do anything without taking or wanting something from her. When she is accidentally auctioned off and then forced into a very real marriage, its to the person she least expect, Cash Primrose. Cash is a lawyer who wants nothing more than to absorb the Ricci empire into his own, and for some strange reason from the moment he lays eyes on Ariana she’s the only thing he’s ever wanted. Cash doesn’t date, he doesn’t do relationships, but he finds himself completely obsessed with Ariana. He does the most out of character thing that surprises even himself, he buys her, He reasons that its just to get her family business... but theres a sudden want to give her everything she wants, to protect her from anyone who would harm her both emotionally or physically, and to kill anyone who even touches her. Cash may be a lawyer but he’s willing to do anything for Ariana, and yet Ariana herself is after revenge, she wants to take back what was taken from her, she wants to finally find some semblance of freedom. Both Ariana and Cash are playing a twisted game of want and touch, they’re both hurt and are both monsters within their own right but maybe together they can begin to heal and be exactly what the other needs. This is the fifth book in the series, and I had fun getting to know Cash and Ariana, and oh boy did Ariana have demons in her life. I was so happy she got her own happy ending and that everything worked out for her in the end!
