And now, she's carrying his child. Juliet's world spirals into danger as Alexander refuses to let her walk away. With power, influence, and a dark past that whispers of secrets too deadly to ignore, he will do whatever it takes to claim what is his-her and their unborn heir.

Juliet is thrust into a dangerous game where love is an illusion, power is everything, and desire could be her ultimate downfall. She should run. But when he touches her, she can't. She should hate him. But when he whispers in her ear, she burns. She should say no. But when he orders her to stay, she obeys. Because Alexander Wolfe doesn't just take what he wants-he owns it.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
