I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone.

SAMPLE ONLY! EXCLUSIVELY ON GALATEA . After a stage accident forcing her to retire early, the once-rising ballerina, Mia Harnett, shunned herself into isolation from society. The loss took a toll on her and her family. When her mother asked her sister, Leanna Stanton, to take Mia away on her yearly visit to one of her vacation homes, Leanna embraced the idea with one condition. Mia had to agree willingly. Eventually, Mia decided to go. Leanna and she were off to live for the next three months on a small cabin at a farm and fishing village island in Scotland. Mia thought the vast empty field, the smell of the rust ocean breeze, will be therapeutic in helping her recover. Yet before Mia settled on her new life, one part of her past came knocking back like a storm. It was then she met an unlikely ally, grandson of her aunt's friend, Richard McKenzie, who manages a diner and bar, and his family's farm. He warned Mia about a fancy man looking for her in town. Mia had to trust him since there was no one - besides her aunt, who she didn't want to be involved - who saw a glimpse of her circumstance. But Richard didn't readily offer his help unless she trusted him back with her story. A past involving an influential man from an old aristocrat family who, to her surprise, owned a castle on the island. He bewitched her with his charm and words, caging her into submission until she got away. She started to question whether her trip on the island and his reappearance wasn't a coincidence. She feared he'll never let her go once she's caught under his ravenous gaze. Will Mia be able to free herself, or will she forever be in his submission? #Ravenous #DramaThriller

He let out a slight shrug, "Putting you to death was not what I was pointing towards. After all, it is merely the mouth that talks." I shivered, as I blinked naïvely, "Humph! A-And are there methods to silence this alone?" I huffed. He snapped his arrogant, coldly-heated gaze in my direction, and my insides clenched, as I noticed his deep, powerful ocean orbs snap down to my... lips. He then snapped his gaze away, fixing his right wrist watch as his deep, authoritative voice came: "Many, trust me." ~~~~~~~~ Fate has a weird hobby of slamming us right in the face about things we so took for granted. My name is Charlotte Thorne. Never claimed to be special, never cared about that. I grew up behind the pages of my books and in the different worlds of my love and romance novels. The world, as I knew it, consisted of my humble yet happy family, my studies, hobbies, friends and a potential perfect love story I was supposed to live. Now what happens when the world, as I knew it, turns out to be mostly a lie I've lived in for a long time? I conclude a simple golden rule: Love is pure, illogical crap. And so, long story short: with my nëw rules, a strict vow, a new family, fresh job, and on top of all those, a cold and arrogant Rickard Ellington Conway as my employer, guess I have a whole lot to deal with in this fresh new world of mine ─which'll get rather interesting...
