‘Crush was such a childish word; I had more of an obsession than a crush.’
Max Hunter was the ultimate alpha male, and he ruled his empire with an iron fist. His thirst for control called to my unhinged desires, threatening to consume me. I vowed that I would never again become one man’s puppet, but he was determined to pull at my tattered strings.
The more dangerous the man, the harder I would fall.
CRUSH
verb: to violently subdue an opposition or a rebellion
noun: an intense infatuation for someone, especially someone unattainable
Hiding behind a sharp tongue and icy disposition, beautiful heiress Lady Amber-Leigh Swift suppressed a troubled past.
Accepting an apprenticeship programme with one of her father’s business associates was the first step towards escaping her demons and achieving her goals. What she didn’t prepare herself for was the fierce attraction she felt towards her new, arrogant boss, Max Hunter—a raw, all-consuming connection she had experienced once before.
Misjudged as a society princess, Amber embarks on a journey of self-exploration to reclaim her passion for life and her past identity that was erased.
Power-hungry Max Hunter had clawed his way to the top of the construction industry and enjoyed reaping the fruits of his labour, indulging his tastes in booze, fancy cars, and fast women. He was a tower of brute strength and answered to no one, especially not a pint-sized redhead with an extreme aversion to authority. Amber was incredibly forthright and yet totally enigmatic. She was a walking-talking contradiction—the thorn in his side. Max felt a driving need to scratch beneath her surface and release the darkness within.
Sparks fly both in and out of the bedroom as Max and Amber thrash out their differences, but when her dark shadow from the past returns, would they be strong enough to face the truth or would it recklessly tear them apart?
There are two sides to every story. On this journey, let’s hear what they both have to say
