The Smell of Fear (The Senses Series #1)

Billionaire innovator Fox LaRoche needs someone wholesome to clean up his image. When dance instructor Gwynn Hughes stumbles into his line of fire, he decides she'll make the perfect fake girlfriend. But Fox has one too many dark secrets and habits, and Gwynn fears him like the devil. Since this devil has made plenty of enemies, he faces an uphill battle curating his image for the world. When Fox is forced to make a decision—his image or his relationship with Gwynn—will he choose well, or will he refuse to choose?

Gwynn has untapped desires she’s just beginning to explore under Fox’s delicious, twisted tutelage. But she has to figure out her hard limits under pressure, since Fox doesn’t know how to do a relationship—even a fake one—except on his terms. His greed for all of Gwynn may prevent a true union of souls, unless they can withstand the tests they face, together.

Fox’s enemies are determined to bring him down and tear Gwynn from his grasp. But Fox’s own worst enemy may be both his past and himself. The time comes to find out how much Gwynn has taught him, whether he can change who he’s been, and whether he can ever forgive.

This spicy dark romance captures two points of view and has BDSM elements.
