Elena Woods is a longtime romance reader who finally gave in to the darker stories that wouldn't stop whispering in her head. This is her debut novel, written out of pure love for the genre, and especially for obsessive, possessive morally grey antiheroes who burn the world down for the one woman who brings them to their knees. She lives in France with her very opinionated cat who insists on contributing to every draft by stomping across the keyboard. When she is not writing twisted love stories or devouring villain-centered romances, she is drinking strong tea and dreaming up new obsessions.
