A THORNE IN HIS SIDE

In the rain-drenched, mist-shrouded town of Forks, Washington, Jude Easton has always been the golden boy - charming, effortlessly sexy, and the kind of light that naturally draws people in. His "Pacific Northwest Charm" makes him an undeniable force, but he's never met anyone quite like Rhiannon "Rhi" Thorne.
Rhi is an enigma wrapped in shadow, with eyes like storm-tossed seas and a silence that speaks volumes. Her "Celtic Noir" aesthetic isn't just a style; it's a reflection of a dangerous past and a mysterious nature she fiercely guards. She moves through the world like a whisper, leaving only questions and an unsettling sense of power in her wake.
From their very first clash, an undeniable, volatile chemistry sparks between them. Jude, accustomed to winning everyone over, finds himself infuriated by Rhi's icy defiance, yet irresistibly drawn to the dangerous depths she conceals. She sees him as a charming distraction, a threat to her carefully constructed walls, and an irritatingly persistent presence she can't seem to shake.
"A Thorne in His Side" is a story of explosive tension, forbidden desires, and the perilous dance between two people destined to be enemies, yet fatally attracted. As their paths intertwine amidst the ancient forests and hidden secrets of Forks, their initial animosity slowly gives way to a blistering, undeniable passion. But unraveling Rhi's mysteries comes with a price, and Jude soon discovers that the most captivating thorns are often the ones that cut the deepest. Can a dangerous heart find solace in charm, or will their colliding worlds consume them both?
