This is book 2 in the Corrupt Legacy Series by the incredible Bianca Borell, and it's better than the first! and the first book, Love Me, was amazing.
You can read this as a standalone, but I would highly recommend that you read Book 1 first, so that you can really have an appreciation for Kaden and Celine's story, as it's important.
Abigail Voss is the child of one of the 5 families that run secret society that is not only rich, but incredibly toxic and dangerous. From an early age, she was told, groomed and taught that her life is not her's to live, but rather to pledge her loyalty to "The Family" and serve their needs. "I plaster on my mask. I am Abigail Voss. And no one will ever peer behind it and see there’s nothing inside of me but empty wishes, shattered dreams, and unrealistic desires."
Enter Dane, he is the new bad boy at their highschool, sent there to "rehab" himself. the youngest F1 champion ever has made some incredibly reckless mistakes that, if he doesn't make some changes, he will lose everything before he knows it. Abigail sees him and recognizes immediately that he is might just be the most dangerous yet deliscious thing to happen to her life -
“You reek of rebellion, poor decisions, and not giving a fuck.”
Dane sees through her: "Under the icy facade is a dormant volcano, and I want her to erupt...If I can’t make my own chaos, at least I can unleash hers."
This is an intense love story that spans over the course of a few months in their senior year of high school and then two years later, while at college.
The story is intense, full of self-discovery, passion, love, and sacrifice.
These are two young adults that have had life experiences that have them growing up fast and needing to make tough decisions.
Dane and Abigail have personal demons that would scare away most people, however they find peace in each other. they are each the calm to the other's storm. Their love story truly is selfless and passionate.
