Allegra Agosti is dead.
She died five years ago, while her husband watched.
Alive, unrecognizable, and colder than the girl she used to be. The girl who loved too deeply. Trusted too fully. Broke too easily.
And Enzo Agosti… He is not the man she remembers.
His reputation precedes him. Beautiful. Lethal. Amoral. As do his conquests: every week he has a new stunning model on his arm.
So why, then, when he sees Allegra again, he looks at her like she is the answer to all his prayers?
Their marriage was once tragic obsession dressed as love. Now it’s longing sharpened into a weapon.
And no matter how much time passes, some things never change:
Allegra is the only person Enzo has ever loved.
But Enzo is the one person Allegra has vowed to kill.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. But every time Allegra and Enzo come together, they burn hotter than ever.
They circle each other with old hunger and new wounds—too angry to forgive, too bound to let go.
Yet only one outcome is possible: either she kills him first, or he teaches her how to love him again.
Green Eyed Devil is a DARK enemies to lovers romance. Parts were previously published in Morally Decadent.
When she wakes up in the hospital she has only one goal: to get revenge her husband, the man who not only broke her heart but betrayed her five years ago but to figure out how she got here we have to start at the beginning. Enzo Agosti is a man who is as beautiful as he is feared, he is repelled by women's touch.... but when he meets Allegra for the first time he knows, she's the one for him... and he'll do anything to make her his, even if it means she hates him. Allegra has spent her entire life searching for freedom and after escaping an arranged marriage by getting married to Enzo instead, she thought it'd be a new start yet her news husband has other plans. Enzo goes from hot to cold and Allegra can't help but still fall for him but everything goes wrong and now she wants revenge against her husband. Yet the Enzo she sees now is not the one she remembered but while she plans to end him Enzo is determined to get her to fall for him again because given a second chance he'll do anything for her. This book was absolutely ENTHRALLING!! The relationship dynamic and mystery of how Allegra ends up where she does is so enticing. I loved how they both were so perfect for each other yet had blunders that they overcame. I am a sucker for a Veronica Lancet romance and this one did not disappoint at all. It's twisted, it's captivating, it'll take you on a rollercoaster of emotion, but it's so worth it and I couldn't stop reading until the very end!!! Seriously adored this one!!
