Darius:
She's forbidden. My attraction to her is wrong and dangerous. I'm like the serpent in the Garden of Eden targeting Eve. Corrupting her. I understand the serpent, though. When you've seen the worst of humanity, taken the brunt of evil, you crave goodness. You want compassion and courage, even when it comes in a girl far too young and innocent for the likes of you. If I get too close, I'll ruin her. But she's so tempting. Sweet. And impossible to resist.
Nell:
I can't believe I feel this way about him. Darius is my father's oldest friend. He's broken and scarred in ways I will never know or understand. But so am I. And I see myself in him -- this embattled war photographer and I are more alike than he will ever admit. He warns me. He tells me our desire is wrong. Immoral. But the wild, explosive heat between us is like a living creature. Neither one of us can escape it...no matter how desperately we try. And even if it destroys us. ❤️ New York Times bestselling author Nina Lane returns with the Birdsong Trilogy, a provocative romance between two people whose forbidden love will set their lives-and the world-on fire.
