Deceit by Elizabeth Knox

Salvatore: My best friend asked me to marry his sister…so I did everything I could to ensure it.
I’ve been after Aria Funar for years, wanting her by my side, craving that woman and her spirit. Over the years I had watched her grow up and turn into the woman she’s become. After a traumatic event happened to Aria, her father branded her as damaged, irrelevant, she was deemed useless to him.
Now, and only now am I worthy of marrying his daughter – because the tragic things that have happened to her ultimately brought her down to my level in her father’s eyes.
She isn’t this broken little thing, and seeing the demons she battles every day destroys me.
I made a promise to Aria, that I wouldn’t allow anything to ever harm her again.
I’m not a good man, in fact I’m the exact opposite.
I’m a monster, but I’m her monster.
