His Wicked Obsession

He wanted my heart.

He never said he would give me his.

The first time I met Adrian Vale, I knew I should stay away.

He was powerful, secretive, and dangerous in a way that made every instinct inside me scream to run. But when someone began watching me, Adrian became the one man standing between me and the darkness closing in.

He offered me protection.

I gave him my trust.

Both were mistakes.

Because Adrian had been keeping secrets long before I ever entered his world. He knew things about my past that I didn't. He had been watching me for years. And the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize that his obsession with me may have started long before our first kiss.

There are secrets buried between our families.

A mysterious necklace.

A hidden ledger.

A father who may not be dead.

And a truth Adrian has been terrified to tell me.

He says he wants to protect me.

But how do I know where protection ends and possession begins?

The more I uncover, the harder it becomes to decide what frightens me most-the enemies hunting me, the secrets threatening to destroy us, or the man I should have feared from the beginning.

Because Adrian Vale doesn't love gently.

He loves like a man who has already lost everything once.

And now that he has me, he may burn down the entire world before he lets me go.

He wanted my heart.

But the real question is whether he was willing to give me his.
