"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

Ghost est de retour à Londres après trois ans passés en Irak. Hanté par son passé et les liens qui le rattachent à une mystérieuse organisation, il cherche à se reconstruire et à oublier les horreurs de la guerre. Cependant, son devoir l'amène à accepter une mission inhabituelle : protéger Cassie Bennett, la fille d'une politicienne obsédée par sa carrière. Cassie, qui se sent invisible aux yeux de sa mère, se retrouve quant à elle brusquement plongée dans un monde de danger lorsqu'un mystérieux harceleur s'immisce dans sa vie. Ghost et Cassie sont forcés de se côtoyer. Mais au milieu de ces tourmentes... Une question se pose : à quel point ce lien forcé est-il dangereux pour eux ? C'est déjà trop tard, les rues sombres de Londres les entraînent dans une spirale infernale, où les secrets et les mensonges se dévoilent un à un.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
