Description:
When twenty-four-year-old Evelyn agrees to a late-night trip to the traveling horror carnival, she thinks it'll be just another night of cheap scares and laughter with her friends. But everything changes the moment she locks eyes with Lila-a striking performer with pigtails, painted lips, and a gaze sharp enough to strip Evelyn bare.
What begins as playful teasing turns into a chase through funhouses and dark rides, a cat-and-mouse game laced with heat and hunger. Lila doesn't just want to frighten Evelyn-she wants to consume her, body and soul.
Caught between the carnival's flashing lights and its lurking shadows, Evelyn's resistance crumbles as fear melts into desire. With every kiss, every daring touch, Lila drags her deeper into a world where pleasure blurs with pain... and the only way out is surrender.
Painted Desire is a dark, erotic novella perfect for readers who crave twisted romance, primal games, and the intoxicating thrill of danger wrapped in desire.
