Never After 3: Wretched

A dark contemporary romance from viral BookTok and USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire, featuring reimagined characters from popular fairy tales and other stories. *** A woman can be great, and terrible too. Evelina Westerly has always been “the bad guy”. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her familys drug empire, shes her fathers ruthless secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sisters murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesnt have time for anything else. Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, shes sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways. Until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey...under a totally different name. But Nicholas Woodsworths real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. Hes an undercover DEA agent, and hes hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realises the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman hes been fantasising about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust within him. Evelina embodies everything hes against, and hes been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about the darkness in each others hearts, the more alike they seem—and when hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he can love a wretched woman…even if it means bringing both of their lives to ruin. Wretched joins the Never After series as a dark and sexy reimagining of a classic tale, twisting it into an enticing new shape for mature readers.
