Wild Side
187 pages
A stormy, high-stakes battle of wills where bitter misunderstandings ignite into undeniable, captive passion.
What it feels like
Reading this is like stepping into the unapologetically intense, stormy world of vintage category romance, where emotions run at a fever pitch and every glance is loaded with danger and desire. The narrative moves at a brisk, breathless pace, trapping the reader in a claustrophobic bubble of forced proximity alongside the fiercely defensive heroine and the domineering, arrogant hero. It is a story built entirely on friction, the crackling tension of bitter misunderstandings, the blurred lines between fear and attraction, and the inevitable collision of two stubborn wills. The prose is melodramatic and deeply focused on internal sensation, making every argument feel like a prelude to passion. It will thoroughly delight readers who love the problematic, high-stakes drama and fierce enemies-to-lovers dynamics of classic romance.

About the book
He was playing judge and jury
Hannah had been only nineteen when she'd first come to London--a beautiful, naive nineteen. She'd fallen madly in love with an exciting man, only to discover he was married. Then there was Eden--no cad, but a weakling, she realized, just before calling off the wedding.
And now the arrogant, insulting Waldo Ross, Eden's older brother, accused her of being a heartless man-eating tramp. He deliberately abducted her and seemed bent on exacting justice. His brand of justice.
Hannah's heart pounded with fear--and with something else she couldn't bear to acknowledge....
