Celeste Haven Bennett is young, but she's already run out of luck. The black sheep of her family, she was never the strongest, never the favorite-only the most broken. Years of trauma have left her hollow, struggling to escape a past that refuses to loosen its grip. She wants nothing more than to start over, to carve out a life where she isn't defined by the pain she's endured. But fate has never been kind to Celeste. One impulsive night out at the most exclusive club in town puts her directly in the path of Giovanni Romano-a man she has no business being near. He's the kind of danger people whisper about, a man who rules the city with bloodstained hands and an empire built on fear. At twenty-seven, Giovanni has learned the hard way that attachments are a weakness, and Celeste is nothing more than a complication. He doesn't want her in his world, but something about her keeps pulling him back, forcing him to protect her even when he knows better. Neither of them is built for love. Celeste doesn't know how to trust, and Giovanni doesn't know how to care. But in a world where loyalty is a death sentence and monsters lurk in the shadows, they might just be each other's only chance at salvation-if they don't destroy each other first.

(COMPLETED) BOOK TRAILER IN CHAP. 1!!! I had just turned 19 and was about to graduate high school, entering into an amazing university. Surrounded by plenty of friends, I had such a bright future ahead of me. Everything changed when I met the devil named Eric. Disguised as an angel, I was pulled into his dangerous world. Eric was one of the most deadly, viperous, and wicked mafia leaders. His name haunted his victims heads. He was every bit of dangerous as beautiful, someone so perfect only existed in my wildest dreams. He was everything a girl could ask for. Or so he perceived it to be. . . Blinded from the start in his ethereal world, soon I realize that it was all merely just a mask. And what lies beneath the mask, was far more sinister. *** WARNING: This story contains violence and mature scenes. Read at your own risk. *** I pulled away, with some difficulty from his tight hold. "I need to go, I can't stay." It didn't change anything for him, he continued to kiss my neck as if I had never spoken. That's when his hand slipped underneath my volleyball spandex. I gasped out, covering my mouth as I shut my eyes. "I know you want to stay, so stay. I'll make you feel better than any high school guy ever could." Eric sexily purred in my ear. His fingers found the weakness between my legs, and my hands clamped onto the back of his neck as his kisses nuzzled on my neck. I leaned my head back, taking in sharp breaths as his fingers felt inside me. He was so good at everything he did, I was learning from what seemed a professional. After taking another brief look at the clock, I decided to take the risk. After all, an adventure is much more fun when it's dangerous. Or so I'm hoping, I never really had the guts to do anything mischievous before. *** #1 in Romance 7/22/18 His Obsession. Copyright © 2018. All Rights Reserved.
