Being a college student and the legal guardian of her two siblings, Arabella Lincoln has a lot on her plate. Money has always been the issue; more bills and expenses every single day, with only meagre part-time wages to cover it all.

Drawn to her world of normalcy and simple joy he never knew existed, Adrian Castle discovers more about himself, about her, and letting go becomes more painful than anything he's ever felt in his entire existence. But business is business. He needs to walk away when the deal is done. He's the last person to provide her the love and security she deserves. He's the danger. Will he let her in knowing full well that she doesn't belong to his world full of darkness? The world he so badly tried to escape.

I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them.

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
