I ran from lies. I fell into obsession.

I grew up rich, but my life was far from luxurious: stuck in an isolated community and selling lies from dawn till dusk. Our belief system could heal any disease, or so my father claimed, yet people died all around me.

I realized I had to escape.

I expected to live on the streets, penniless. Instead, I end up working for a man with just as much money and power as the cult I fled from.

It only takes one night to find out that he is obsessed with me—violently protective.

I should run from him, seeing that his world is equally dangerous as the one I came from. But there’s something about him that pulls me closer instead: the way he looks at me with those warm brown eyes, the way he teases me, makes me feel safe.

And before I know it, I’m addicted to his touch, his attention, his everything. But he has no idea where I came from or the lengths my father will go to drag me back.
