My name is Finn McCowen, and I want my revenge.
Callisto Avellino was the heiress of one of the country’s most influential families. A delicate wildflower in a bed of thorns. And the daughter of the man who killed my father.
Six years ago, she disappeared.
She says she ran away to escape the poison of her corrupt family. Money. Prestige. Power. Murder.
We have the same agenda – or so it seems: ruin the Avellinos at all costs.
If I have to put her in harm’s way to get what I want?
So be it.

Excerpt
“You’re blackmailing me.”
He shrugs. “Call it what you want. I think of it more as making you an offer you can’t refuse.”
“Screw you.”
His humorless grin slices me. “I almost did. What’s it gonna be, princess? A new boyfriend or a media lynching? Doesn’t matter to me. But can you imagine what the world will say when it comes out that you staged your own abduction? Lied to the cops? The entire nation?” He whistles softly.
Trembling, near tears, I whisper, “I hate you.”
“I don’t care,” he retorts. “I’ll pick you up Friday at seven for our date. The first of many. From this point on, you’re taken. By me. Like it or not, we’re going to do this together.”
“They’ll never buy it. I can’t stand you.”
Another chuckle, low and dark. “Oh, I think you can. I’m giving you a week to remember how much you liked me when we met.”
My Thoughts <3
Fate is tricky AF. This book proves that if you are meant to be with someone, then y’all will be thrown together. Even if there is that issue of the fact that your father killed his father…
LM Halloran is seriously talented. This book was dark, but not too dark, with lots of suspense and a very action packed read. The characters had tons of chemistry, but due to how severe the situation was do not get a LOT of chances to explore the chemistry. Regardless, I still loved the book!
All in all, if you like books that keep you guessing and like being shocked by random twists and a whole trope of a amazing characters, I highly suggest you check out The Golden Hour. I was hooked from the very first page!
PS: Thank you to LM Halloran and Inkslinger PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review.
