But Caelum’s true identity is terrifying enough to bring me to my knees. He consumed my mind and my body, then finally claimed my heart for himself. He enraptured me with his smooth temptation, leaving no corner of my being untouched. Once, I fell in love with a man who deceived me.įor weeks, he stood by my side, twisting his words into pretty half-truths.
