God of Pain (Standard Edition)

by Rina Kent

From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes the second in a dark and steamy college romance series featuring elite criminal families and morally gray heroes. Creighton King and Annika Volkov are complete opposites: he rarely speaks, and she rarely stops. But beneath the surface, their secrets might be enough to break them... Creighton King is silent, brooding, and hostile. Annika Volkov loves him. She is his opposite in every way: a ray of sunshine, the life of the party, and constantly talking. What Annika doesn't know is that Creighton's quiet, beautiful exterior masks a dark, hidden persona. A violent one. Creighton knows he will never escape his past, so he takes his pain out on others. It's his only release. He doesn't expect to find any attraction to the girl that is his antithesis. But as Annika attempts to get closer to him, he finds that he enjoys her company more than anyone else's--especially once he discovers her wild side. And now that he's infatuated, she will never escape him. Even if their families' histories are deeply connected in ways neither of them could have imagined. Annika is the light and Creighton is the dark. Will she be able to light the way for him? Or will he succumb to the darkness and take her down with him?
