He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t resist.

Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.

Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past-and risk breaking us apart.

But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him-and us-forever.

  10. I just finished “Release Me” after purchasing it on Audible.com. Although I didn’t read it in print, the audio book version is great. The woman who read it, Sofia Willingham, did a great job and really made the characters come to life. I can’t wait for the next installments. Fantastic book! It made my toes curl.

    • I love hearing your toes curled!! I’m a huge audiobook fan, but I have only listened to a snippet since I have a particular voice in my head. But I’m thrilled to hear that you loved the reader! I’m going to listen myself once Complete Me is in production!!
