by Geneva Lee
First published 2015
Belle Stuart steps into his world wearing crimson lipstick and carrying a sharp tongue that cuts through every wall he has built. He knows from the first moment that she is trouble. She should be untouchable. The rules are clear, and claiming her breaks every one of them. He does it anyway. What starts as possession shifts into something he cannot name and cannot walk away from. Keeping her close puts her at risk. Letting her go feels impossible. He has wanted women before and moved on without looking back. Belle is different. She is not a prize he wins and sets aside. She is the thing he thinks about when he should be thinking about everything else. The danger around her is real, and so is the danger inside him, the part that refuses to release her even when releasing her would keep her safe. Geneva Lee builds the tension between hunger and protection into something that neither character can resolve cleanly. This is a story about a man who controls everything except the one craving that controls him.
