Against Desire

By Brianna Haylett

* Can be read standalone, but book 1 in this series will give further background for the characters *

Lila Hayes has always been the good girl: organized, responsible, perfectly predictable.
Marc Donovan is anything but. Owner of the city's most exclusive underground club, he trades in secrets, shadows, and desires people don't speak aloud.

They should have never crossed paths. And yet, their best friends get married.

But when Lila stumbles into Marc's world, terrified, furious, and hotter than sin, he breaks his own rule:
Don't touch the ones who don't belong.

One taste, one kiss, one mistake... and now he can't stay away.

Marc is danger wrapped in charm, a man who knows exactly how to unravel her defenses.
Lila is the first woman who makes him want more than a night behind a locked door.

Their chemistry is explosive.
Their differences are impossible.
And when Lila's carefully built life begins to crumble, the only person she shouldn't run to becomes the one she can't resist.

In a world where temptation comes with consequences, Lila and Marc are about to discover the truth:

Some desires don't just burn, they consume.
