Dark romance meets retelling: He wants revenge, but he wants her more... James has always had one goal: to destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. When Peter's twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up at James' bar, he sees his chance. He wants to seduce Wendy and use her for his revenge. It's the perfect plan, until things start to crumble within James' organization. Suddenly, he must find the traitor among them. And he begins to see in Wendy more than just a pawn in his game.

Wendy has been shielded by her wealthy, cold father for most of her life. One evening, when she sneaks out with friends to celebrate at a club, she meets the dark and mysterious James. Wendy knows that James is dangerous, but she is still drawn to him. As their relationship deepens and she learns more about the world he inhabits, she can no longer tell if she has fallen for the man named James or the monster named Hook.
