Damsel in Distress

256 pages

A glamorous, high-heat romance where steely control melts under the force of unexpected passion.

What it feels like

This brisk, escapist romance sweeps readers into a world of private jets and intense physical chemistry. The mood is unapologetically glamorous and steamy, balancing the fantasy of a billionaire swooping in with the friction of a fiercely independent heroine who resists being saved. The prose leans heavily into sensuous details and dramatic tension, capturing the exact moment when steely self-possession gives way to overwhelming desire. As the narrative moves from a casual, no-strings fling to something far more complicated, the emotional arc traces a satisfying surrender to vulnerability. It is a perfect read for those who devour high-heat, trope-rich stories about unexpected consequences and the thrilling loss of control.
