One moment of mercy brought a monster to my door.I thought moving into a luxury high-rise would give me freedom. Instead, it placed me right across the hall from Thaddeus Cyrus—a man who looks at me not like a neighbor, but like something he already owns.Cold, lethal, and devastatingly handsome, he steps in front of my lens and invades every corner of my life. He answers my late-night calls, backs me into dark corners, and handles me with a fierce, possessive hunger that makes my blood run hot. The scarier part? My body craves every second of his controlling grip.I know I should run. But when the most dangerous man in the city wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me into his dark world, running is no longer an option.Because as his lips brush against mine in the dark, he whispers the breathy promise that ruins me:"You saved my life once, Ma Petite. Now, you don't get to walk away."
