Ravage by Kristen Luciani

My job is simple, my objectives painfully clear.
Protect the empire at all costs,
Eliminate any threats,
And defeat our enemies.
For years, I’ve accepted these responsibilities to keep my family safe.
I’ve given up my life in exchange for their happiness.
Ravage and destroy?
Always.
Regret?
Never.
Until Gianna tore through the barbed wire surrounding my black heart and showed me what I’d been missing.
She’s beautiful, naïve, and dangerous.
A liability to everything I’ve built.
But I broke my own rules, took a bite of the forbidden fruit.
Now that one taste will mean the death of her.
And me.
