Yearning for HerUpdated at Dec 23, 2024, 04:57
She’s the one who got away—and he’ll stop at nothing to bring her back into his arms.
Looking back never appealed to me.
Five years ago, I left New York City, walking away from the sparkling penthouses, the blackboard, and the man who believed he owned me. Right now, my life is peaceful, basic, and safe. But nothing stays buried; does it?
I ought to have known he would find me.
Killian Cross, the richest person, Devil in a suit tailored specifically, my ex-fiancé, the man I fled from. And now he's standing at my doorway, presenting me with the one thing I most need: a bargain that might rescue my failing art gallery. Still, his cost?
One month living on his private island.
I ought to turn it down. I ought to bang the door in his too-lovely face. Still, the fire in his emerald gaze indicates he is not asking. Saying yes also makes me know I've struck a bargain with a man who seeks my secrets, body, and soul—not only my surrender.
Killian is not the only person hunting me though. My past casts darker shadows than even he is aware of, and as danger approaches I have to face the reality: the guy I once dreaded could be the only one able to save me.
Alternatively, destroy me.
