I swear I wasn’t that obsessed. I wouldn’t have called it an obsession at all. But a year ago, I was just a girl with the start of a crush. Everything that happened that night was just the luck of the draw. I wound up a little bruised—fine, a little broken—and intoxicated by a man I couldn’t have.

He’s the perfect gentleman…until he comes knocking on my door and tells me exactly what he wants to do to me. And I say yes. Stealing nights with him like this is supposed to be wrong, but it feels so right. And when he saves the day to protect his son at the fundraiser, my heart wants him as much as my body does.
