"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me. "What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us. "I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again. "T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go." "It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble." I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker. I get nervous around him. I don't know what this feeling is but this feeling is different. A feeling that I have never felt for anyone. "Understood?" he said again. I nodded. "Yes Mr. Parker." ***************** Liam Parker, 25 year old billionaire. Arrogant, handsome, ruthless, the only thing matters to him is his son and his work.

This is a stand-alone novel. However, if you are reading the series, read it as book 2.5 for timeline order. After inheriting her grandmother's gift shop, Amber is trying to rebuild her life. This means bills, debt, and a life trajectory into hoards of cluttered trinkets that she thinks are nothing more than cheap gimmicks. If that wasn't bad enough, her dreams have started to feel a little too real lately, and when she wakes up cradling an impossibly ancient artefact, she's about to discover a world of magic that couldn't possibly exist. It's a good job that one of her local customers, an enigmatic stranger whose eyes burn with secrets and whose presence crackles with dangerous allure, seems to know what's happening. The problem is that he seems to be the craziest thing about it all, especially when he boldly claims his life mission is to protect her. His intensity leaves her bewildered and undeniably drawn to him. Each encounter is charged with an irresistible magnetism, and she is unsure if being awake is even real anymore. Unfortunately, Amber wishes she knew what he was supposed to protect her from. Before finding out, she must figure out the secret of staying awake long enough. ~ Set in the world of Iridescent ~

But what happens when the lines of friendship are crossed. Author's Note: This story follows on from my first book Forbidden containing Lando and Emma's story. While this can be read as a stand alone you may wish to read Forbidden first as a back story. I was a member of a religious group that many people, especially those of us who have gotten out, may call a cult. The majority of things that happened to my original characters are drawn from what I went through or saw friends go through. After writing Emma's story I found I could not leave her sister Andi alone without help.

Leila Louise Jacobs, known as Lee Lou to her friends, is ready to leave the cult her parents are in. After 7 years of being forced to abandon her life and friends she wants to finally start living her own life even if that means she may never see her parents or younger siblings again. Tonight she has been invited to a F1 Dinner with her best friend Millie Piastri, younger sister of F1 driver Oscar, but Lee Lou knows she has to be careful. One publicity photo of her being seen by her parents would lead to more trouble than she wants right now. But what should she do when she keeps catching Lando Norris' eyes during the evening. Should she go for her best friend's brother's team mate. What will Lando think if he finds out the risks she is taking just to be with him.

Instead, it swallowed her whole. Ansel Laurent doesn't love―he consumes. His touch... a burn. His words... a leash. His presence... a suffocation. His love... a slow and painful death. She should have run the first time his grip tightened, the first time his whispered words curled around her throat like a promise of things to come. But she didn't. And now, he won't let her go. Zavien Amato was supposed to be her escape... his unrequited love fueling his desire to protect her, the one person who saw the girl beneath the wreckage, the one who would tear the world apart to pull her from the fire. But Ansel isn't just the fire―he is the burning. And if Solène dares to run, if she dares to reach for a life without him, he will drag her back into the dark with bloody hands and a smile. She is his. And... If he can't have her... no one can.
