*****
Lee never believed in fate, but the day he met Jodie at the gym felt like something more than coincidence. One look at her—long brunette hair, flawless smile, a body that turned heads without trying—and he was gone. She was confident, magnetic, impossible to ignore. The kind of woman who made a man forget his routine, his rules, his better judgement.
But perfection always hides something.
Jodie’s charm is effortless, but her secrets are not. She dodges questions, changes the subject, and keeps her past locked behind a smile that never quite reaches her eyes. The closer Lee gets, the more he feels it—an undercurrent of danger, a tension she won’t explain, a shadow she refuses to name.
Still, he can’t walk away. Their chemistry is instant, addictive, and charged with the kind of slow‑burn heat that makes everything else fade. But every moment with her pulls him deeper into a world he doesn’t understand. Strange messages. Sudden disappearances. A fear she won’t admit to. A truth she’s terrified he’ll uncover.
As desire twists into obsession and curiosity becomes risk, Lee realises he’s not chasing a fantasy—he’s stepping into something darker. Something that wants him involved. Something that won’t let either of them go.
Because Jodie isn’t just hiding a secret. She’s hiding from it.
A tense, high‑heat romance filled with mystery, obsession, and dangerous attraction—where one chance encounter becomes a life‑altering descent into secrets and desire.
