In Blackthorne City, love doesn't arrive softly. It watches. It waits. Mandy Rivers has spent her life learning how to fit in, how to adapt, how to keep moving forward no matter where she lands. Jason Harold has never believed in coincidence. Not even when he is stripped of his inheritance and forced into obscurity. Mandy doesn't notice anything strange. At least, not at first. She never suspects Jason. Meanwhile, Jason watches what he believes is his possession, certain that devotion justifies control. The terrifying part is not that Jason wants her, but that Mandy is no longer sure she wants to escape. The lines between right and wrong are seriously blurred but this Valentine's Day, obsession will not be denied.
