A daring and decadent romantic suspense that whirls the reader around the globe and back.
“I wasn’t supposed to touch her this way. To have her this way. She wasn’t ever supposed to be mine.”
Violet Banner was under-aged and off-limits when she and Dawson Langley first met. It didn’t stop him from leaving a brand on her heart that followed her to college. Five years later, she’s come home to find him living under the same roof, and it feels like nothing has changed. Except for the science lab she’s built in the garage and the secrets he’s keeping.
After years of fighting off the tantalizing connection between them, Dawson isn’t sure he’ll be able to restrain himself once grown-up Violet lands back in his world. Even the nearly deadly mistakes of their past and the three separate lives he’s leading might not be enough to prevent him from touching her.
When the clandestine activity surrounding his international boat race tangles Violet in its grasp, she can’t help wondering if Dawson is the villain of the story.
Only one thing is certain: there’s nothing he won’t do to keep her safe…even if it means making her his.
Inspired by Daughtry’s “What About Now,” comes a determined scientist and a broody bad-boy-turned-hero who just might leave their mark on you in this adventurous, standalone, slow burn from award-winning author, LJ Evans.
Don’t miss Violet and Dawson as the younger siblings in the interconnected standalone, AVENGED BY LOVE.

Not my first read by the author and I have read a couple of books by her. This one the cover alone is just so beautiful!

I will say that this was a WILD ADVENTURE I was very pleased with the characters, trope and events! Violet the heroine is the sweetest, best outlook on life is nothing like the rest. She is beautiful to no bounds but doesn’t even know it. Lets also talk about how much I PERSONALLY love a SMART Heroine! Dawson the hero was different, I’ll start with that. Different in a emotional you’ll hurt for him way. I wasn’t too sure about him for the longest time but then he came through. This author is excellent at bringing you into the book, the houses, the streets, locations, side characters…THE EVENTS. That’s what I loved the most.

Thank you to the author for my ARC again I appreciate it and am looking forward to more from you.
