King of Wrath (Kings of Sin, #1)

“I was a legacy, a status symbol, and a retirement plan all rolled into one.”

Vivian shows how much strength it takes to keep your head up while your father treats you like a pawn. She never lets the family pressure break her spirit.

“I don't care about the board. I care about you.”

Dante starts out so cold and calculated. Watching him realize he cannot control his feelings for Vivian is the best part.

The way Dante keeps that emergency kit for Vivian says more than any grand gesture. He pays attention to the tiny things she needs when she is stressed.

“Blood might be thicker than water, but it's also a lot stickier.”

Family loyalty can feel like a cage sometimes. Vivian had to decide if her parents' approval was worth her own misery.
