Wretched by Emily McIntire is a dark, intoxicating romance where obsession, vengeance, and forbidden desire collide.

Evelina Westerly has never pretended to be good. As the ruthless force behind her family’s drug empire, she balances violence and intellect with chilling precision, driven by grief and an unrelenting need for revenge. Love has no place in her world, especially not after a single reckless night meant to satisfy a moment of weakness.

Until that night walks back into her life.

Nicholas Woodsworth isn’t who he claims to be. Beneath his new name lies a far more dangerous truth. He’s an undercover DEA agent determined to dismantle everything Evelina stands for. She is the enemy. The target. The embodiment of everything he despises. And yet, the pull between them is impossible to ignore.

As desire tangles with deception and hatred blurs into something darker, both Evelina and Nicholas are forced to confront the cost of wanting what they should destroy. Loving each other could ruin them both. But walking away may be even worse.
