My name is Freya Wilson. I am not your typical girl next door. I'm far from it. As my mother likes to point out since I graduated high school, I should be planning my life instead of wallowing around the house in my pajamas all day. Girls my age are either preparing for college or taking advantage of the warm summer days that California provides in spades. She doesn't understand why I prefer to be stuck in my room, watching the world pass by. But there is a reason to my melancholy that she will never know. I'm in mourning. I morn a love I can never have.

Six years ago, I left the love of my life tied to the bed, and disappeared without a trace. I witnessed something I shouldn’t have, and he’s been hunting me ever since. I knew one day fate would catch up with me, but the last place I thought it would be is cornered in the bathroom, in the middle of a party with my date in the next room.

After going through a messy public breakup, I've sworn off dating. That pact changes when my new bodyguard walks through the front door. Hudson is nothing like the men in the industry.

He offers me an unexpected new position: mentor to his rebellious teenage niece. For some reason, I agree—I like helping people, but I’m also admittedly curious to glimpse the man behind the mogul.

Unhinged. Charming. Dangerous. The brother of the man I’m prosecuting and now my stalker. I didn’t know Eoghan O’Rourke was a lawyer for the Irish Mob when I tried to put his brother in jail. And I shouldn’t have gotten drunk and yelled at him. I certainly shouldn’t have gone home with him. But I needed to get rid of my V-Card and a gorgeous mafia man who would never fall for a curvy womanlike me is the perfect one and done. Boy, was I wrong. Eoghan turns obsessed, jealous, and unhinged. I’m a prosecutor. He’s a criminal. We have nothing in common.

Konstantin Reznikov's war buried me in darkness. Four years later, he's the one dragging me screaming from my coma. The viciously domineering, brutal, terrifyingly gorgeous tyrant who haunts the shattered fragments of my memories. The man with dark gray eyes as cold as his dark gray soul. I remember almost nothing from my past. But he does. Now, he owns my present and my future. Because Konstantin didn't wake me up for free. He brought me out of my darkness to engulf me in his. To own me. To trap me in a maze of twisted games and jagged thorns.

The new cowboy in town with dark hair, eyes like honey, and a taste for me he likes to pretend he doesn't have.
