The Maddest Obsession
2019
Danielle Lori
She fears the dark.
He rules it.
Her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book. Little do most know itโs just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time.
Nobody can crack Giannaโs facade . . . no one anyway, until he comes along.
Most see a paragon of morality; a special agent upholding the law. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan heโd envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. With a proclivity for order and the number three, heโs never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never . . .
One winter night and their lives intertwine. She hates himโhis stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eyeโbut over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each otherโs looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him.
Nowhere in Christianโs plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. Sheโs chaos embodied, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes.
All along, she doesnโt even know that sheโs hisโhis frustration, his fascination.
His maddest obsession.
