Conflicted (Darker Steamy Shorts #6)

Preview

MARA

My dad was my whole world.

Until the night I come home and find him.

Blood everywhere.

His body cold. My life destroyed in an instant.

I don't know who did this. I don't know why.

All I know is that I'm alone now.

Terrified. Grieving. Unravelling.

And then he appears. Dark. Dangerous. Older.

He watches me like he knows something I don't.

He shouldn't make me feel safe—but he does.

He shouldn't make me burn with desire—but I do.

Is there something wrong about the way I want him?

The way he looks at me.

RADOMIR

I kill for a living. It's what I'm good at.

Cold. Efficient. Brutal.

Her father was a target. A monster.

I eliminate him without hesitation. Without remorse.

I should walk away. But then I spot her.

Mara. Innocent. Beautiful. Broken.

She finds his body—my work—and I watch from the shadows as her world shatters.

I should feel nothing. Instead, I feel everything.

An obsession I can't control. A hunger I have no right to feel.

She doesn't know what I am. What I've done.

And every time I touch her, every time she looks at me with those trusting eyes,

I'm reminded: This is wrong. But I can't stay away. I won't.

She's mine now—even if the truth could destroy us both.

A dark, morally conflicted romance where love is born from lies, blood, and an obsession neither can escape. Steamy, erotic, suspenseful.
