Publisher's Synopsis
Empress has been hurt before, so she never gave love the time of day unless it was pleasing her. No passion, no strings ... just pleasure. Trauma induced shunning of monogamy aided her in shying away from anything real. Most people with trauma don't know they're carrying it until they meet someone who challenges it. Or someone with their own trauma. Either way, trauma has its own game to play. Its own number to call.
Zero is not just a number, but a man who wants more than what he's given. He's a man with dreams of not letting his end be in the very streets he survived as a child. In order to get more he had to take it, regardless of how many pressure filled pipes busted or people are mowed down in the process. This was necessary. Buckling down for what came next, he didn't intend for the pressure to be her. No strings they'd agreed, but what could an agreement stop when their meeting caused outpourings from every direction, almost like a domino effect? He had no idea encountering her would cause the pipes to flood like this with no intention of stopping.
Puddled with collected streams of water from their story, Zero and Empress cause an overflow that ensnares loved ones as well as foes, swallowing everyone up. Are you ready to encounter a flood of this magnitude?
Prepare to weather the storm with a set of characters whose lives play a little too close to reality. All floods can't be stopped before they do damage, but can this one?
