A TASTE OF FREEDOM

She spent her whole life being protected. He was the first person who made her want to escape.

Amara has always been the perfect daughter.

A dedicated young nurse with a kind heart and a promising future, she has spent her life obeying her overprotective parents. They decide where she goes, who she sees, when she comes home, and even who she's allowed to love.

She tells herself they're only trying to keep her safe.

Then she meets Damien Blackwood.

Billionaire. Bad boy. Ruthless businessman. And the last man her parents would ever allow into her life.

Damien lives by his own rules. He doesn't ask permission, doesn't follow boundaries, and certainly doesn't believe in love. Yet something about the sheltered nurse fascinates him.

He introduces Amara to a world she's only ever dreamed about-midnight drives, lavish parties, forbidden adventures, and the intoxicating freedom of making her own choices.

For the first time, Amara isn't someone's obedient daughter.

She's simply Amara.

But Damien's world isn't as glamorous as it seems.

Behind the expensive cars and billionaire lifestyle lies a darkness he's worked hard to hide. The more Amara falls for him, the more she realizes that the man who taught her how to break free may have his own plans for keeping her close.

Her parents built the first cage.

Damien might become the second.

And when love becomes tangled with obsession, secrets, jealousy, and betrayal, Amara must decide what freedom really means-and whether the man she loves is worth losing herself for.

Because sometimes the person who opens the door isn't necessarily the person who will let you walk away.
