King of Envy

Description

He had everything he could’ve wanted… except her.

From Ana Huang, the New York Times and global bestselling author of the Twisted series, comes King of Envy, the highly anticipated and explosive fifth installment in the hit Kings of Sin series. Delivering a dark, intoxicating blend of elite high-society drama and agonizing emotional stakes, this forbidden romance brilliantly stands on its own.

Dangerous. Powerful. Deeply reclusive. Vuk Markovic is notorious throughout the billionaire elite for shunning human interactions entirely. The heavily scarred tycoon rarely speaks, and he harbors absolutely no interest in building relationships outside his small, fiercely guarded circle. His only exception? Her. Ayana is the ethereal beauty to his dark beast, and the ultimate object of his silent obsession. He saw her first. He wanted her first. But now, she is publically engaged to his oldest friend—and the closer the massive wedding looms, the more Vuk is violently torn between his lifelong loyalty and a consuming, dark desire. She should be his, and he might just risk tearing down kingdoms to claim her.

Beautiful. Successful. Glamorous. To the outside world, international supermodel Ayana Kidane leads a flawless, enviable life. Her modeling career has skyrocketed to the absolute peak of the fashion industry, and she’s happily engaged to one of New York’s most eligible, high-society bachelors. What the public doesn’t know is that the engagement is nothing more than a strict, cold business arrangement. He gains his massive inheritance once they marry; she secures the vital funds she desperately needs to escape her abusive modeling agency. Pretending to be deeply in love should be an easy act—until she finds herself increasingly, dangerously drawn to her fiancé’s enigmatic best man.

Vuk thrills and terrifies Ayana in equal measure. She knows she should run from his dark presence, but when her high-stakes wedding is suddenly thrown into absolute chaos, Vuk becomes the only person she can find true comfort in. But their forbidden sanctuary is short-lived as Vuk’s violent past catches up with them, threatening to destroy everything—and everyone—they love.

Masterfully executing the billionaire best friend’s fiancée, beauty and the beast, forced proximity, and classic “he falls first and harder” tropes, King of Envy delivers signature Ana Huang possessiveness, jaw-dropping billionaire alpha energy, and scorching physical chemistry.
