📚 Book 2 of a completed 4-book series
The Maddest Obsession Behind Gianna's glittering laugh and too-loud personality lies a woman desperately battling her own darkness—until she meets Christian Allister, a man who straddles two worlds as a federal agent and underground hustler with a heart as frozen as the cells that forged him. Their first meeting sparks an electric rivalry filled with cutting insults and intellectual sparring that becomes the highlight of both their lives, even as she's convinced she despises everything about his cold, commanding presence. But Christian has never deviated from his meticulously ordered life plan, until one winter night changes everything and makes him see Gianna as his in ways that terrify and consume him. What unfolds is a dark, obsessive romance between two people who shatter each other's carefully constructed worlds—she the chaos he never planned for, he the only one who truly sees her.
