"It's that feeling of helplessness that turns good people.... Cruel."
Meet Katherine, "Kat", McKenna, a twenty-seven year old fresh out of Law School and ready to change the world. She gets an interview at one of the most prestigious law firms in Eastwood, Alabama, which is extremely rare for someone like her, as it's 1949 and a lot of people don't like the idea of women in the office. She battles others for a chance to prove that women can do everything that men can. But that isn't all that's in store for her.
After a series of events that lead to her finding a note from a relative she presumed dead, Kat goes on a hunt to discover the truth about what really happened. She discovers that sometimes, the truth hurts.
(Note all characters are made up and the events are loosely based on actual events. Peggy Carter and others were the inspiration for Kat)

And what lies beneath the mask, was far more sinister. *** WARNING: This story contains violence and mature scenes. Read at your own risk. *** I pulled away, with some difficulty from his tight hold. "I need to go, I can't stay." It didn't change anything for him, he continued to kiss my neck as if I had never spoken. That's when his hand slipped underneath my volleyball spandex. I gasped out, covering my mouth as I shut my eyes. "I know you want to stay, so stay. I'll make you feel better than any high school guy ever could." Eric sexily purred in my ear. His fingers found the weakness between my legs, and my hands clamped onto the back of his neck as his kisses nuzzled on my neck. I leaned my head back, taking in sharp breaths as his fingers felt inside me. He was so good at everything he did, I was learning from what seemed a professional. After taking another brief look at the clock, I decided to take the risk. After all, an adventure is much more fun when it's dangerous. Or so I'm hoping, I never really had the guts to do anything mischievous before. *** #1 in Romance 7/22/18 His Obsession. Copyright © 2018. All Rights Reserved.Complete
