Raelynn Belmore has built her empire one perfect seam at a time. A name whispered in high fashion circles, her designs are fierce, unforgettable-just like her. But behind the beauty lies something far more dangerous: a mind as sharp as her needles and a heart that never forgets a slight. When success paints a target on her back, she expects envious rivals, desperate imitators. What she doesn't expect is him.
Dalton Driscoll was born into power, raised in the shadows of blood and loyalty. As the heir to the Driscoll crime syndicate, he rules with precision, calculation-But when Raelynn enters his world, with her wicked smirk and a gaze that dares him to look closer, the lines between business and obsession begin to blur.
She doesn't trust kings. He doesn't bow to queens.
But in a world where control is everything, the right game of power can feel a lot like falling in love.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Complete
