About the book: year / This dark book is an independent work by USA Today bestselling author Dreti Anis. This book is not a fairy tale. There is no prince charming in it, only an incorrigible villain and the object of his desire. I felt his gaze on me wherever I went. I recognized his scent in my home. I felt his presence even in my dreams. When I discovered the monster hiding under my bed, it was already too late. He wedged himself into my life, backing me into a corner with nowhere to run. The worst part? The world adored him, but no one knew what kind of devil was hiding under the beautiful mask - no one, except me. Manipulative, cold and ruthless, Axel Trimalchio was a dangerous psychopath hiding in plain sight. He was obsessed with me and never stopped pursuing me. He was determined to make me his... Even though I already belonged to someone else.
