Ruthless Charm

He’s the storm I never saw coming . . . and the wreckage I can’t resist.

I thought one night with Ash Santo would be easy.
No emotions.
No complications.

But Ash is not just Cardinal Saint’s top player. He’s a storm. A wrecking ball that crashes through every wall I’ve built around my heart.

He’s arrogant, dangerous, with a smile that promises everything I shouldn't want.

And yet, when he looks at me, it feels like I'm the only one he sees.

I tell myself I won’t fall into his world, that I won’t let him destroy the fragile peace I’ve built for myself.

But I’m addicted. And now he’s living under my roof — there’s no turning back.

I’m losing myself in him, and I hate it.

But the more I fight it, the more I realize it’s too late . . . I’m already his.
