Painkiller: A forbidden romance

By Nola Marie

Jagger Davis is a broken prince from an empire of music and money-an A&R exec by day and an underground fighter by moonlight. He's haunted by ghosts, drowning in trauma, and tethered to secrets that choke the life from him, but he's not looking to be saved-only distracted.

Poppy knows how to survive, and that's usually by shutting everything off. A ballerina by duty and a waitress by necessity, she's learned to smile through pain and dance through exhaustion. Jagger Davis is the one man she can't afford to want. He's her best friend's brother and her sister's ex, but when he steps into her world, her walls don't just crack... They shatter.

Their worlds shouldn't touch. But they do. Again and again. In quiet hallways, beneath stage lights, and behind locked doors where anger blurs into desire and heartbreak tastes like redemption.

They know loving each other could ruin everything. The real question is... what happens when they do it anyway?
