Príbeh skúma tenkú hranicu medzi láskou a nenávisťou cez Barona „Viciousa“ Spencera, brilantného právnika a dediča impéria, ktorý je zároveň bezohľadným netvorom, a cez jeho komplikovaný vzťah s chudobným dievčaťom Emiliou, ktorá za mladosti zaplatila vyhnanstvom za to, že poznala príliš veľa. Po desiatich rokoch sa v New Yorku stretnú znova — on je mocnejší a odhodlaný získať ju späť, čo vyvoláva striedanie nenávisti a vášne a núti Emiliu rozhodnúť sa, či utekať pred ním alebo rovno vkročiť do jeho náručia. Recenzentka oceňuje, že kniha obsahuje menej explicitných erotických scén a viac rozprávania o napätí, kritizuje Viciousovu vulgárnosť a aroganciu, no napriek tomu ju čítanie bavilo kvôli pútavej zápletke a zaujímavým postavám, ktorým sľubuje pokračovanie.

She is a starving artist. Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom. Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down. She paid the price.
