"I want to kiss the hell out of you right now." Despite all her sweet confessions, she still managed to narrow her eyes at him. "I'm mad at you." He didn't give her time to escape the moment. One second she was glaring at him, the next he had moved, guiding her back against the couch with a suddenness that made her yelp in surprise. Her breath was still uneven when he looked down at her. "Let me change that," he whispered, his voice low and rough with everything he was feeling. "Please?" "Okay," she murmured shyly. *** One ordinary woman made the conman want an honest life.

He came to therapy angry. She was never supposed to feel anything. But when broken meets brilliant, something dangerous starts to spark. Jake Sim stumbles into Dr. Rose Park's office with fury in his chest and scars on his soul-trauma buried so deep, he'd rather drown than feel it. Rose? She's brilliant, brutal, and entirely off-limits. Cold hands. Sharp mind. A woman who doesn't flinch. Until him. What begins as silence and stares slowly spirals into something neither of them can name. He thinks he's too ruined to love. She knows better. But this isn't a love story. It's a war between walls and wanting. Between pain and possibility. Between the monster he thinks he is-and the man only she can see. Two people. Both haunted. Both healing. Manacled not by force, but by choice.

But everything changed when I met him-a young man with an enigmatic presence and a loyal dog by his side. There was something about his smile that caught my attention immediately-his fangs.
