Amanda's breath came out in shallow bursts, the air thick with betrayal and disbelief. "Why?" she whispered, voice trembling. "You were supposed to help me... you were supposed to be my friend."
He tilted his head, a faint smile curling on his lips. "Help you? Amanda, I did help you. I brought you back where you belong-with me."
Her blood ran cold. The flickering light cast cruel shadows on his face, revealing the obsession that had been hidden for so long. "You don't get it," he murmured, crouching down beside her trembling frame. "You were never meant to be his."
And as the shadows swallowed the room whole, Amanda finally understood-love wasn't the only thing that could destroy you.
----
When sunshine-hearted Amanda Bennett falls for cold, calculating CEO Ashton Knight, she never expects love to feel like walking a tightrope between passion and danger. But when dark secrets, vengeful exes, and a deadly stalker begin closing in, their love becomes a gamble with lives at stake. Torn between trust and betrayal, past and present, things take a wrong turn.
"In a world of secrets, love was their biggest gamble."
