About the Book:

From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes Wretched, a captivating and darkly romantic reimagining of The Wizard of Oz. Evelina Westerly has always played the role of the villain in her family’s drug empire. As the cunning mastermind and fierce protector of her empire, she dedicates her life to avenging her sister’s murder, wielding both power and ruthlessness with precision. Love is a distraction she cannot afford—until a passionate one-night stand with a mysterious man ignites desires she thought she could suppress.

But when that same man appears in her life again, now as a lowly lackey, Evelina is thrown into a whirlwind of confusion. Nicholas Woodsworth harbors a secret far darker than an alias; he’s an undercover DEA agent, determined to dismantle the very empire Evelina helps to run. The attraction he feels for her complicates his mission, especially when he discovers she’s the woman who has haunted his dreams since that fateful night.

As they navigate the treacherous waters of their entwined lives, Evelina and Nicholas are drawn into a battle between their conflicting worlds. She embodies everything he despises, yet the more they confront their shared darkness, the more they realize how alike they truly are. Caught between their growing passion and their respective missions, Nicholas must decide whether he can love a woman deemed « wretched, » even if it means risking everything for a chance at redemption.

Wretched explores themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of morality, promising a gripping and emotional ride that fans of dark romance won’t want to miss.
