🤍Unexpected fake dating
🖤Slow burn
🤍Forced proximity

Nikki is running from her past, she has built her life on her lies. Dex is forced to protect her when her past catches up to her. Nikki and Dex had one common understanding - no feeling, no relationships…ever and especially not with each other. But when Dex falls, he falls hard, and wants her anyway he can get her…

Nikki and Dex. I have been waiting for this since I read Toxic Paradise #1… this did not disappoint. City of Salvation wrapped up so many loose ends. I did not anticipate the slow burn, tension, desperation, and love that I got with Dex and Nikki. Her past… wow. His past… explained so much. Dex’s mouth 🥵. They came together like a ball of fire and I loved it.

As always, check for TW’s and happy reading!
