Obsession Series by Heidi Barnes

Lines are drawn; an unwritten code of conduct set, and a feud between two families silently simmers. When Kirsten Tivon becomes the focus of the enemy’s youngest son, she quickly learns codes are meant to be broken and lines will eventually be crossed when her life becomes a race against time before her choice between the man who loves her and the one who is obsessed with her is taken away.

With the monster who tried to claim her as his behind bars, Kirsten Tivon thought she was safe. She was wrong. Thrown into a world she does not understand, a world of money and the power it brings, she quickly learns that the privileged and well-to-do will do anything to keep what they consider theirs. Even kill.

After watching associates destroy themselves over something that was not meant to be, Alexei Tremmel made himself a promise. If it was not meant to be, then he would let it go. That is until he met Kirsten Tivon. Now there is nothing he would not do, no one he would not destroy to win her back, even if that someone is Kirsten. The last few years have been anything but easy for Kirsten. Just as she thinks life is settling down, it throws her another curveball, and that’s only the beginning... moreAfter watching associates destroy themselves over something that was not meant to be, Alexei Tremmel made himself a promise.

Just as she thinks life is settling down, it throws her another curveball, and that’s only the beginning. Pain, lies, hidden love, betrayal and unimaginable loss.

The life Kirsten Tivon is living is not the life she envisioned, but it’s not a bad life either. Out of chaos and pain she has managed to carve out a fragile peace for those precious few who hold her heart and keep her sanity from dissolving completely. Then something happens to rock that fragile world so completely, nothing will ever be the same again.
