Genre: Erotic Romance ~ Synopsis ~
It’s been years since brilliant IT
consultant Olivia James, fell for a man who had a deeply hidden compulsion to
violence and control. Left healing physically and emotionally, she became a
shadow of the confident woman she used to be. That is, until she meets Ethan
O’Connell, a man who makes her burn with a powerful desire. Haunted by fear and
insecurity, she desperately tries to resist him, doing all the right things to
protect her heart, but she is betrayed by her desires and her attraction to
confident men. With stubborn perseverance, he ignores her attempts to push him
away, leaving her wanting, desiring his love, needing it to feel alive and
whole.
Ethan O’Connell is extremely successful
in his businesses, with a seriously sexy Irish accent and a lethal kind of
flare and charm. More than any one man should ever possess. Ethan knew, from
the very first moment that he saw her that she is meant to be his. Used to
getting the things he wants, he is determined to have her and struggles to
control his Irish temper, the reason for his own troubled past. Olivia James is
the woman that makes him want more, the kind of girl that would make any man
think about forever. Afraid that he can’t live without her and unwilling to
lose her, he hides his secrets and ignores his dark desires and fantasies of
control.
Eccentric Psychic, Eva Storm is drawn
to the energy around them. She knows that they are soul mates bound by past
lives and helps the universe steer them together. Ethan is hesitant to believe
at first, but there are things he can’t ignore. Things he couldn’t possibly
know, but does. Neither of them can deny the dreams and memories that they both
share, but Olivia is too afraid to believe and not willing to trust her heart.
Convinced that she is “THE ONLY ONE” for
him, Ethan refuses to walk away, vowing that he will never give up on her, even
if it means he has to fight hard enough for both of them. Can he control his
temper and his needs in order to keep her in his life? Can she heal her past
wounds and let him in? Like no other woman in his life, Olivia challenges him
with her strong will and sharp sense of humor, making him wonder if she could
ever become a willing captive of his dominance. Ethan hopes with all his heart
that she will become equally addicted to his love, and a sneaky suspicion that
falling in love with Olivia James is about to bring on a shift in the balance
of power in his world.

~ Excerpt ~
Following,
Ethan moves to her side, putting his hand against the trunk just above her
head. His body pressing against her side makes her heartbeat quicker and her
face flush.
Breathing
in her perfume, he becomes intoxicated by its sweet, seductive scent and lifts
his free hand, wrapping it around her waist holding her there. His incessant
stare is daunting, forcing her to look down, trying to avoid it. Christ, this
woman is so beautiful when she tries to hide the way he affects her.
Aware
that his closeness makes her uneasy he presses his mouth against her ear and
gently nips at her lobe. The warmth of his breath expelled heavily into her ear
gives her goose bumps. Noticing her reaction, he moves his hand from her side
and rubs up and down her arm trying to warm her. “Are you cold?” The muscles in
her stomach tighten and her chest heaves as she inhales quickly.
“No.”
She shakes her head.
“What
then?” He knows what… he just needs to hear her say it.
She
looks up at him through alluring hazel eyes. “You.”
“What
about me?” Is it cruel that he needs her to confess? Torment her by making her
say it aloud?
She
lowers her eyes again and whispers. “I hate you.”
His
hand stills on her arm and then moves back around her waist. His forehead
pressed to the side of her temple he answers. “I don’t believe that’s true at
all.” He slides his hand to her hip, tugging her as close to him as possible.
Bringing
her hand to her mouth, she bites at her fingernails nervously. Her stomach
twists in anxious knots as she lays out her feelings. “I hate the way you make
me feel.” She concedes.
He inhales a deep
breath and lets it breeze out warm and slow against her ear again. Finally he
gets to the truth. Capturing her hand, he pulls it down, away from her mouth.
Not feeling the need to control or overpower her in this moment his voice is
gentle. “Look at me.”
Trembling with
vulnerability, she turns so they’re chest to chest and raises her eyes, locking
his gaze to hers, green to hazel, the soulful energy of their connection,
ineffable.
“How do I make you
feel?” His heart is beating with a strange wobble, nervous about her answer.
“Frightened.” She
pauses and swallows hard, exhaling as she whispers. “Excited.” Her voice is
full of shame at her admission.
“I see.” Lifting her
hand to his mouth, he kisses each of her knuckles one at a time. Closing her
eyes, she escapes his stare for just a few moments and gathers her thoughts
before speaking again. “You make me feel like I’ve lost control… of my
thoughts… my emotions.”
“Is that so bad?” He
presses her palm to his chest so she can feel the rhythmic beating of his
heart. “You’re not the only one who feels that way. The moment I saw you… my
heart beat your name.”
Damn
him and his ridiculously romantic side, she’s never going to survive it. “ I…I
need to stay in control.” Her words are burdened by fear. His Irish brogue
suddenly becomes thick and Irishy. “Sweetheart you are no more in control of
what’s happening between us than I am. Whatever this is… it has its own destiny
and we can merely follow its path, give in to its force… bend to its will.”
Olivia
is lost. Lost in his eyes. Lost in his words. Under his spell... and hopelessly
ALL IN. Moving his hands to her hips, he squeezes them, pulling her closer.
When she’s pressed up against him, he lifts his hand to her face. Her breathing
is shallow and her nerves tingle with the anticipation of his next move. Kiss
me, just kiss me already.
