beauty is the reason he wants her. His darkness is why she stays.
Maxwell Bishop was the
man with a plan, and nothing—and no one—would get in the way of what he wanted.
Until the day Kiana Moore walked into his life. Her beauty made him pause. Her
kindness made him want to claim her. She was supposed to be off-limits. He was
supposed to respect boundaries. Pursuing her could bring his perfect world
crumbling down around him. In the end, none of that mattered. He wanted her,
and he would do whatever it took to have her.

keep her sanity, and her job, Kiana Moore needed to stay away from Maxwell
Bishop. No matter how much she tried to deny her desire for him, she couldn’t
get him out of her mind. His lips beckoned her closer, teasing her with his
sinful smile. His deep voice seduced her with every word he spoke. She had to
resist him, even if it was the last thing she wanted to do. Her livelihood was
at risk. Her reputation could be ruined. Then again, none of that mattered.
Maxwell wanted her, and she knew he wouldn’t stop until she was his.

need and desire can no longer be denied, just how far will he go to claim his
woman? Maxwell always gets what he wants. He’ll let nothing get in the way of
