"These innocent temptations have the cruelest consequences"
𝑪𝑹𝑼𝑬𝑳 𝑫𝑬𝑺𝑰𝑹𝑬𝑺
After the mysterious disappearance of her father, the last thing Evelynne Baptiste expects is to receive notice of an inheritance. One that comes in the form of a woodland estate and a large haunting cottage centred in the middle of it all. Evelynne decides to move into the harrowing home, giving herself three months to piece together the puzzling disappearance of her father.
What she did not expect was to come face to face with an intruder, an intruder who just so happens to own half of the estate and who happens to be her new tenant.
Aziel Rideaux is a silent and brooding man, whose harrowing past lies behind his strikingly green eyes and a gruesome scar. He is not at all pleased with the short statured woman with wild hair and he makes it his mission to intimidate her long enough so that she will leave, silently of course.
Determined to uncover the secrets behind her fathers disappearance and now sudden death, Evelynne vows to ignore the obnoxiously silent yet insanely attractive man. However this proves to be easier said than done as she soon learns that Aziel has more to do with her fathers disappearance and death than she thought, and despite her best efforts she can't get his pair of green orbs out her head, certainly not when they plague her with nightmares that leave her terrified yet yearning for more.
Their forced proximity proves to be more dangerous than they both could have ever imagined, especially when mutual hate turns to lust and the two find themselves caught up in a cruel desire.
