Ashley built her life around control.
Control of her emotions.
Her reactions.
Her desires.
Working for Stiles was supposed to be nothing more than a job-temporary, professional, safe.
But Stiles was never safe.
Powerful, obsessive, and dangerously perceptive, he notices every glance she avoids, every breath she loses, every crack in the composure she hides behind. What begins as tension quickly turns into something far more consuming-a dangerous pull neither of them can control.
Because Stiles doesn't believe in restraint.
And Ashley is becoming the one thing he can't stop wanting.
Behind the glamour of galas, flashing cameras, and whispered scandals, their connection deepens into something dark, intimate, and impossible to deny. Every touch becomes a battle for control. Every kiss blurs the line between obsession and need.
She tells herself she should stay away.
He makes her forget why.
But the deeper Ashley falls into Stiles's world, the more she realizes desire can become possession... and passion can destroy as easily as it consumes.
Some people ruin you slowly.
Others make you want the ruin.
And Stiles?
He makes resistance feel meaningless.
