She’s his diamond in the rough. He’s her worst nightmare.
Experience a dark and pulse-pounding reimagining of a classic tale in Twisted, the second standalone in the USA Today Bestselling Never After series by Emily McIntire. This is not the story of a street rat and a princess—this is a story of power, betrayal, and a villain who will stop at nothing to claim what is his.
Yasmin Karam is the daughter of one of the richest men in the world, used to a life of luxury but trapped by her father’s dying wish: to see her married to a man of his choosing. Desperate to escape a future she doesn't want, Yasmin strikes a deal with her father’s cold and calculating right-hand man, Julian Faraci.
Julian has one goal: to become the most powerful man in the world. He doesn't care who he has to hurt to get there, and when he sets his sights on Yasmin, he decides she will be his—no matter the cost. Yasmin may be a "brat" who speaks out of turn, but Julian is the villain of her story, and he’s ready to force her into a marriage she can't stand.
Why you’ll love it:
Dark Reimagining: A gritty, high-stakes "fractured" Aladdin retelling.
Tropes: Features "Forced Marriage," "Age Gap/Power Dynamics," and "Villain Gets the Girl."
Standalone: Can be read independently from Hooked or other books in the series.
