Four of them. One of me. Who will give in first? It started when they stole me from my life. The daughter of a crime lord who ruled with an iron fist. The heir to a family of blood and ruin. They left only a whisper of a name in the air. Il Diavolo. A man whose reputation preceded him. Ruthless. Merciless. Cunning. The one they called the Devil. He was as beautiful as he was terrifying. Except I wasn't scared of him or his three friends. They might want to use me in their quest for revenge, but they picked the wrong girl. Or maybe I was the right one and none of us knew it quite yet.

Soliciting a stranger online to fulfill my ultimate fantasy is probably crazy as hell. If you asked me what I was thinking, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Aber einer von ihnen lügt.

It started with the war. The war we’d wage upon the very man who’d raised me. The war that would either tear us apart or keep us together. We’d finally found our way to each other. The five of us gave in. It’d been inevitable from the start. Desire had forged us, but it was love that set us free. Made us into what we were. A family drenched in blood.

Two become three. Lies, lust and betrayal. Who will fall first? It started when I chose to remain with them. The ones who took me from my life and changed all the rules. The chains binding me to my family loosened their hold. Little did I know that by taking me, Quinn and his friends began the long process of setting me free. And even as I got closer to the boys, the past always held us back. Keeping our feelings at bay. The questions plagued me. Where did my loyalties lie? Who could I trust? And the biggest one of all.

Everything came to a grinding halt when long hidden secrets came to light. The truth changed the rules and made us realize nothing in life is ever as it seems.

It started with an impossible choice. One I had no wish to make from a person I’d only just come to know. So many of our decisions had led up to this moment. Perhaps it was the way we’d come together that threw my life so off balance, leaving me with the final say in a matter I wanted no part of. We had to draw up the battle lines. Change our fates. Or we’d all crash and burn. It wasn’t a case of if we’d fight for survival; it was when. 

Innocent. Fragile. Sheltered. The secrets from the past shattered me. The lies my family told broke my soul. Devastation was my only solace. Until my angel saved me. He gave me freedom. And I'd kill for him.

The moment Lucien Dumont, outstanding chef and owner of Haze, set his piercing blue grey eyes and skilled hands on me, everything changed.

Another nightshift. Another fight in a club. Friday nights in Central London were always trouble. Running across a redheaded siren who couldn’t keep her eyes off me? That wasn't a usual occurrence.

I'd be playing with fire if I crossed a line and contacted her whilst I'm on duty, but somehow, I can't stop myself.

Him. I wanted to take them all down. I had everything under control. Then she walked into my life. And turned my world upside down. She changed me. She was the light in the darkness. I was her avenging angel. Until I ruined everything. Her. I wanted to be his everything. The one who took me. He showed me their darkest secrets. He taught me their twisted ways. I feel for him and fell hard. I was ready to destroy them all. Until he destroyed me. The stakes have been raised. 

The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people.
