About the book: 2021 / She's afraid of the dark. He controls her. Her dresses are too tight, her heels are high. She laughs too loudly, eats rudely, and confuses most of the statements in the book. Few people know that this is just a brilliant disguise to hide one panic attack at a time. No one can crack Gianna's façade... at least not one until he shows up. Most see him as a paragon of morality, a special agent supporting law. In the New York underworld, others know him as a conman, a murderer, his nature as cold as the icy heart in his chest. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he envisioned in his youth, under the harsh light of a cold, damp cell. With a penchant for order and number three, he never succumbed to the temptation to veer off course. But perhaps we should never say never...One winter's night, and their lives become intertwined. She hates him—his icy demeanor, his arrogance, his overly penetrating gaze—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting looks and each other's intellect, she begins to live for the sake of playing with him. Nowhere in Christian's plans did he prepare to meet Gianna. She's chaos incarnate, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. All the while, she doesn't even know she's his—his frustration, his fascination.His crazy obsession.18+
