You, you, you, you and me could stop this love drought Parts 2 and 3 of 'Allure' series

Allure...to powerfully attract or charm; tempt. It was the physical attraction that they believed kept them coming back, but in reality, it was more than that. Two broken souls, unaware to the fact the fix was one another.

One man for her to lose morals, head space, and peace of mind. His words were captivating, his demeanor enticing, a man who she knew to stay away from but couldn't. He seemed like the man of her dreams...though dreams can always turn into nightmares.
