Lost in Love
288 pages
A tempestuous, high-angst battle of wills where bitter resentment collides with undeniable, consuming passion.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into the eye of an emotional hurricane. It delivers the quintessential vintage category romance experience: a feverish, claustrophobic battle of wills where every glance is loaded with resentment and every argument crackles with unresolved desire. The narrative moves at a propulsive clip, driven entirely by the explosive friction between two people who cannot stand each other yet cannot stay away. The prose is unapologetically melodramatic, leaning into breathless internal monologues and sharp, cutting dialogue that heightens the delicious toxicity of their dynamic. It is a stormy, angst-soaked journey designed for readers who crave the intense, messy thrill of a second-chance romance built on financial coercion, bitter grudges, and an inevitable, fiery reconciliation.

About the book
Someplace between heaven and hell...
Four years ago, Guy Frabosa had hurt Marnie so deeply that she vowed never to set eyes on him again and had divorced him in a blaze of pain and anger. He fought her, but she'd had a trump card and had been desperate enough to use it.
Now Guy held all the cards--Marnie needed his financial help and had little choice but to play by her ex-husband's rules. He demanded her body and soul, but the thought of returning to his side as his wife filled her with a raging hatred---made all the more consuming by her utterly wanton desire for his lovemaking
