A trained killer will do anything to protect his bride, even if it means defying the secret society he serves. Xavier Donovan was born into an elite brotherhood built on blood and obedience. When the time to complete his first Trial arrives, he's forced to prove his devotion to this secret society by stabbing Delilah, the only woman he's ever loved. But Xavier's loyalty comes at a higher cost than expected when the Obsidian Order uses Delilah as a pawn in a deadly game of vengeance and control. Still bound to X by vows forged in violence, she's pulled deeper into the Order's corruption, uncovering truths about him that are darker than she ever imagined. With every decision he makes, X begins to understand the depth of his feelings for Delilah-how far he'll go, how many foes he'll destroy, and how much of his soul he'll sacrifice to keep her alive. Because his life isn't worth anything without her. In the Obsidian Order, mercy is weakness and desire is leverage, but for X, love is the greatest trial of all. Vicious Society is a dark stalker romance with a possessive, morally gray MMC. It contains mature content featuring explicit scenes with, at times, dubious consent.
