Ian Hart stole a night of my life but he took so much more. His obsession pinned a label on me. His lust put me in an impossible situation. Now I have to choose sides. I have to decide between right and wrong. Only, no matter what choice I make, each comes with dreadful consequences. There’s only one way this can end—how every tragedy ends.
*Stolen Life is Book 2 of the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger. Book 3 will be released on 22 June 2021.
His voice lowers with intent. Know this, if you do run, I’ll slap a pair of ankle cuffs on you so fast you won’t have time to say my name. There’ll be no more playing nice.
I’ll tie you to my bed if that’s what I have to do. Cupping my jaw, he delivers the threat with a soft kiss on my lips. The choice is yours. The heavy blow is dealt with tender words.
They sift down like snowflakes to settle cold in my heart. I tremble as he pushes me down onto the hood and leans over me. What will it be, Cas? He’s not asking if I’m on board with this limited version of freedom.
When he unbuttons my jeans, he’s asking a different question, and, as always, when he slips his hand into my underwear, he gets the truth.
