THE MADDEST OBSESSIONL:

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 it's just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time.Nobody can crack Gianna's 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 he'd envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he's never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never . . .One winter night and their lives intertwine. She hates him-his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye-but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other's looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him.Nowhere in Christian's plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She's chaos embodied, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes.All along, she doesn't even know that she's his-his frustration, his fascination.His maddest obsession.*Can be read as a standalone

AFTER HIS AND ELENA'S FIRST ENCOUNTER ENDS WITH AN ACCIDENTAL GLARE ON HER PART, SHE REALIZES HE'S JUST AS RUDE AS HE IS HANDSOME.SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE MAN OR ANYTHING HE STANDS FOR, THOUGH THAT DOESN'T STOP HER HEART FROM PATTERING LIKE RAIN AGAINST GLASS WHEN HE'S NEAR, NOR THE SHIVER THAT GHOSTS DOWN HER SPINE AT THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE.AND HE'S ALWAYS NEAR.
