COMPLETE BUT FINESSING 
Ari Nichols's life in Alaris is far different from how she grew up. Accountant by day & homebody by night, Ari is happy with her quiet life. She only ventures out for dinners with friends, work events, or the rare blind date which she goes on at her parents' insistence. She'd rather skip dating altogether & never gives a second thought to the men she ices out, but when Sebastian Meyer speaks to her the first time, she wants it to happen again.

Meyer is a man at the top of his game, headed towards the pinnacle of the business world. He's arguably Alaris's most eligible bachelor. He garners the attention of women everywhere he goes, but only the most elite of them make it into his "black book." Dating is a tool used by Meyer - a means to an end. Meyer knows from the beginning that Ari has nothing to contribute to his goals, but he's drawn to her nonetheless.

Ari, who once thought herself clever & guarded, will discover just how naive she truly is when caught in the world of the power hungry and ruthless Meyer. As an adult, she thought she finally had her life under control, but she'll be pushed to her limits by Meyer's intensity. Will she be able to get the balance she wants in their relationship or is total submission the only thing Meyer will accept?

Meyer has been focused on one goal for most of his life, driven by the past he wants to leave behind. His cold & calculated behavior starts to become unpredictable after getting involved with Ari. Conquering her is the only way he can regain himself, but in the process he'll discover that there's more to Ari than meets the eye. Will his wild life send her running before he can find the answers? 

Can their painful pasts & true selves remain hidden or will the sudden & intense flame of their passion bring everything to light? Will they be strong enough to withstand the pressures of the outside world - ambition, power, pleasure, temptation? Or will everything burn to the ground?

She was Hunter's Prey. ─────────────────────────────── I fail to suppress the whimper that manages to escape my lips. "So scared," he whispers. "Yet so fucking wet." "I...I'm not wet..." He leans in, the tip of his nose trailing along the side of my face as his grip around my throat tightens and he lifts me off the mattress by my neck. He slides his free hand into my panties, depositing two fingers into my core. The coolness of his rings prompts a loud moan from me before he pulls them out. "Liar," he growls, glossing the seams of my lips with my own arousal. "Now, open your mouth, bambi." ⚠ TW: This book is a dark romance containing mature themes such as graphic violence, murder, mentions of abuse & self-harm, strong language, age-gap relationship and explicit sexual themes.
