Does wanting to slap the hell out of Brody Kelly make me a bad person? How about setting his hair on fire?
No, I'm not a psycho.
Yes, I AM angry.
See, a year ago, my sweet and sexy firefighter boyfriend and I broke up over something extremely ridiculous. We'd been together since we were sophomores in high school, but that was the end of that. Almost twelve years of that, mind you.
The looks he gives me tell me he still wants me. Our latest encounter has me thinking he's trying to win me back.
But I'm not willing to give in so easily.
I don't know why he used our argument as an excuse to break up, but I'm going to find out. I've lived in Serenity Point all my life and have connections and I’m not afraid to use them to get to the bottom of things.
What I am afraid of is finding something I won’t be able to handle.
He used to call me his Always and Forever.
But the secrets he’s keeping might tear us apart for good. Views: 36

From USA Today Bestselling Author Cerys du Lys ~
I thought I knew Lucent, but now I realize I never really did. He's kept so many secrets from me. I fear I might have fallen in love with a monster. Worse yet, I'm afraid I'm becoming one, too...
(A Cerys du Lys contemporary romantic suspense novel)
I thought I knew Lucent's secrets. I thought I knew about his dark past and forbidden obsessions.
He likes control; a lot of it. He enjoys seeing me kneeling on the rug before him while he paces back and forth, planning exactly what he'll do with me. He likes caressing my cheek with soft fingers before squeezing my jaw tight and forcing me look him in the eyes. His seductive smirk when he calls me Miss Tanner while tying me to the bed, reciting everything he's going to do to me in intricate detail, and telling me why he's going to do it, sends shivers through my body.
I thought that was it. I thought that was the worst of it, and in time I came to enjoy our sensual games. Lucent likes control, but he loves me. He would never hurt me.
Or so I thought.
Lucent's dark past contains secrets darker than I ever could have imagined. Unwittingly, I've been lured into his world of sordid conspiracy and corporate scandal. We're running from the law for a crime we didn't commit, but saving ourselves isn't as simple as just telling the truth. I don't know what the truth is anymore.
Beneath Lucent's fractured facade, I still feel his absolute attraction towards me. I still want to love him, and I want him to love me, too. I hope I'm making the right choice.
(This captivating contemporary romantic suspense novel contains themes of domination and submission)
