Book Blurb:

A dark Alice in Wonderland reimagining where the ‘villain’ saves the girl, set in a world of secret pacts, feuding families, and unhinged obsession.

He's her greatest threat, she's his only peace, and he gambled the one thing he loves most to keep her safe.

Lucy McKennon is a pawn. Daughter of the King of Las Vegas and promised to a madman she’s never met, she’s spent her life following the rules to protect her family.

When violence erupts and her best friend is kidnapped, Lucy does the only thing she knows how. She runs.

Now she’s hiding on a sin island under a fake name, trading in pleasure and secrets to survive.

Except Wander Isle has lured her under its spell, she’s in over her head…

And her masked madman just followed her down The Rabbit Hole.

Hatton Fury is doomed. The last person he wants trapped in the danger of his family name is the very woman who’s supposed to take it. So he’s protected his fiancée the only way he knows how. By staying the hell away.

When Lucy vanishes, he breaks every rule he’s lived by to find her. But the closer he gets, the harder it is to remember that keeping her safe and keeping her can never be the same.

She’s spent years outrunning her villain, but is he the only one dangerous enough to make her stay?

Review:

A Dark ballet reimagining that will completely steal your heart? Look no further than the newest book from Greer. I've been a huge fan of her books since forever and this new one has me completely hooked. This book is just PERFECT and it's going to be an amazing read for anyone who enjoys a dark romance with arranged marriage and a masked MMC. The relationship between Hatch and Lucy was so swoonworthy and I ate up every single chapter of it. The way that Greer perfectly captures the elements of a reimagining into her own version is just one of a kind. The Alice in Wonderland vibes were also so so fun in this. This was just EVERYTHING TO ME. Seriously, I can't wait for the next book and I need it immediately!

Strolling Forward

While I still look forward to

The same thirst & hunger as before;

The same unrest flows through

Those veins more and more.

Top to bottom, amidst the sky

To the unbounded dungeons deep,

The continuous will to find,

To find “the precious” amongst the heap.

To carry on till the sun gets dawned;

Or walk along the paths unpaved-

Nothing has been so humble,

Nothing so easy to catch and share.

This…
