We love a good book with an alpha asshole male character, but we also love the redemption aspect of what makes us love these characters. Knox is the asshole in this book, he plays the enemy very well, however, he never really hits his redemption path. He continues to be very mean up to the very end. He has a very dark past that he seems to be stuck in, partially because he has a terrible abusive father that doesn't allow him to escape.

Aspen is the female lead in this book, she starts out with a father that is into some shady shit, ends up getting murdered and only has his best friend to help her out. because her mom is garbage. One of the troupes of this book is that she starts sleeping with said best friend, age gap of about 25+ years.

Knox and Aspen know each other from childhood and they hate each other. Knox knows all her dirty secrets and uses them to his advantage. They begin a sexual relationship after she ends things with the best friend (Leo, aka Knox's uncle). There is a lot of story in between in regards to her mother, Knox's dad, everyone's relationship. We will say the sex is good, the plot line is wild, and a happy ending isn't always what it seems.
