Blogs Taking Part in the Release Day Launch
~Chloe~
Rules are made to be broken…
That’s what they say but I used to follow the rules. I used to have pride, honor, and obedience. I was raised to believe that in the world in which I lived, money and power ruled, and everyone made sacrifices. I knew my priorities. Family first. The company second. And what I wanted a very distant third.
I followed the rules, but couldn't have known that obedience would ultimately cause betrayal. On many fronts.
My father was framed, and I’ll do whatever it takes to put the right man behind bars.
My name is Chloe Donovan, and I’m going to make things right. But to do that, I need to break the law, and I can’t do it on my own. I need help. The problem is, the only person capable of helping, hates me. I don’t blame him. I promised him the world and then I ran away…
~Aiden~
I used to follow the rules. Until Chloe Donovan. She was my boss’s daughter. I shouldn’t have touched her. But I did. Three years ago, she came into my life, consuming it. Consuming me. I needed her. She betrayed me, as did her father. Lies and deception. Never again.
Chloe was the worst mistake I ever made. She’s temptation and destruction wrapped in a beautiful package. But, my blood doesn’t really fill my brain when I’m around her…
Now, she’s back, declaring her innocence and once again, ensnaring me with her magnetism, her beauty, her allure. I should say no.
But Chloe Donovan owns me. I still want her. Her draw may be the death of me.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT
“Not one to take a hint are you?” he
grumbles as he heads up the path and climbs the steps.
I push off the railing and stand to meet
him by his front door. “It’s important.”
“So you keep saying.” He sounds tired, his
voice much softer than it had been earlier and he inserts his key, pushing the
front door open.
As he walks past me, I smell the faint
scent of another woman’s perfume and my mouth speaks before my brain connects.
“Have you been with someone?”
Stepping inside his home, he pauses and
blocks the door. “That is absolutely none of your business,” he states.
“Does this girl know what you were in your
office dry humping me before her? Does she know I’m the one that got you fired
up?” I’m attacking him and it’s stupid and unwarranted. Essentially, I have no
right to be behaving this way. But I can’t seem to stop myself from feeling a
jealous rage at the thought of him with another woman.
His eyes narrow for a moment and within a
blink of the eye his arms shoot out and he grabs me, hauling me through the
door and slamming me against the wall. The movement surprises me and I gasp and
follow my instinct to fight him. He flattens his body against mine, pinning me
so I can’t move and he grabs my wrists pressing them together over my head.
I wriggle beneath him, feeling way out of
my depth. I talk tough, but in this moment, I feel anything but. “Let me go,
Aiden,” I demand through clenched teeth.
“Why? Isn’t this what you came here for?”
He readjusts his grip so he can hold both of my wrists in one hand then trails
his other one down my arm. “It’s why you’re here acting like a jealous
girlfriend, right?” His hand pauses at my throat and wraps around it
uncomfortably as he leans into me, brushing his rough stubble across the skin
of my cheeks. “Do you want me to fuck you, Chloe?” He pushes his groin against
me and I can feel his erection dig into me. I wince. “No? Then what?” His
breath is hot and his fingers tighten around my throat as his mouth moves
toward my ear and he growls, “What the fuck do you want from me?”
Tears burn in my eyes and I them shut,
suddenly feeling as though I’ve pushed him too far. I should have told Leah to
go fuck himself. I should have stayed home and thought of another way to get
Aiden to listen.
Things are different now. So much has
happened in the last three years. So much has changed in each of our lives.
We’re different people. Capable of different things. When you back a person
into a corner, you can’t always be sure how they’ll react…
I twist my head away from him as my
emotions hit me and I let out a strained sob. I didn’t want to cry. I wanted to
stay in control but he’s scaring me. At the sound of my cry, his grip lessens,
it’s if he suddenly realises what he’s doing and he slowly releases me.
“Shit,” he hisses, taking a step back to
give me some space to move. I don’t waste my time, the moment my hands are free,
I swing my body, bringing my arm around and slap him loudly across the face.
“Fuck you, Aiden! Fuck you!” I scream, my
body shaking with fear, desire and anger from his intimidation tactic.
His cheek becomes immediately inflamed and
I watch the red bloom across his skin, as I glare up at him, angry that we’re
even in this situation. Things used to be so different between us...
“I guess I deserved that,” he admits.
