He was a bad habit I couldn't break. I was the obsession he couldn't escape.
Angelica Carter plays by the rules. She keeps her head down, avoids attention, and focuses on her art. But all of that shatters when he shows up-the dark-eyed stranger with a devil's smirk and chaos in his wake. She doesn't know his name. Doesn't know what he wants. Only that he's always there. Watching. Waiting. Getting under her skin.
Ryder Hawthorn doesn't fall. He ruins. And the quiet, guarded girl he should've ignored? She's the one he can't stay away from. Sweet, soft, untouchable-and now she's his favorite sin. His muse. His madness.
As obsession turns dangerous and enemies become something else entirely, Angelica will have to decide how far she's willing to go to survive Ryder's world-and what part of herself she's willing to lose in the process.
A dark romance filled with slow-burn tension, twisted attraction, and the kind of love that leaves scars.

Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips.

How would she survive his ways or even would she?Complete
