Just Once is a seductive and electrifying novel that plunges readers into a world of forbidden desires, deadly secrets, and the intoxicating allure of supernatural power. When Lucy Weatherington, a brilliant and beautiful software engineer, is drawn into the shadowy realm of the Anons - a clandestine group of individuals blessed (or cursed) with the ability to manipulate life force - she finds herself torn between the thrilling temptation of their world and her own moral compass. At the center of this dangerous web is Beau Tempest, a charming and ruthlessly ambitious vice president at a powerful tech conglomerate. Beau is an Anon, blessed with the ability to absorb the vitality of others, a gift he uses to fuel his meteoric rise. But as Lucy delves deeper into his world, she discovers a dark and tormented soul, one that hides a shocking secret - and a blazing passion that threatens to consume them both. Complicating matters is Wendy Baumberger, another Anon whose insatiable lust for power has driven her to the brink of madness. As Wendy's bloody rampage escalates, Lucy must decide whether to succumb to Beau's seductive overtures or align herself with the mysterious "Blessed" - a faction of Unicorns sworn to stop the Anons' ruthless machinations. Blending elements of dark romance, psychological suspense, and urban fantasy, Just Once is a sinfully addictive tale that explores the boundaries of desire, the corrupting nature of absolute power, and the redemptive power of love. Readers will be left breathless and craving more as they follow Lucy's journey into the heart of this electrifying, high-stakes conflict.
