Legacy of Gods: God of Pain

Book two of Rina Kent's Legacy of Gods series. Creighton King is cold, brooding, and dangerous, hiding a violent past he can't outrun; Annika Volkov is his exact opposite, a bright, talkative ray of sunshine who refuses to be pushed away. As Creighton becomes increasingly addicted to Annika's warmth, and to the secrets she's hiding of her own, their families' dark, tangled histories threaten to destroy whatever is growing between them. A dark, steamy continuation of Kent's college-set spin-off to her hit Royal Elite universe.
