Green Eyed Devil

Our take
She died once while he watched, and now she has returned with vengeance in her heart.

About the book
Allegra Agosti is dead.
She died five years ago, while her husband watched.
But now she’s back.
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.
