Sam Mariano Author of Untouchable, Descent, the Morelli Family series, and the Coastal Elite series just to name a few! Dare and Aubrey were first introduced in Filthy Elites, then got their solo release Even if it Hurts which has my very favorite discreet cover I’ve ever seen.

See the opening author's note for more explicit triggers, but know this is a very dangerous relationship with a very dark hero. For that he already has the copy of your house key stashed away securely somewhere in his cupboard, saved for the rainy day. You breathe, you eat, you have a rape kit done just in case but you don't make a report ( Dare merely didn't want Aubrey to be torn apart in a court room. So I wrote this story for myself just for fun, I had no plans to share it when I started writing it, but then I decided to because I know some of my readers will likely love it as well. Obviously, Sophie got caught by Silvan and never made it to Aubrey so we didn’t see how the scene played out in their story, but I thought that would be a perfect opportunity to give a little catch-up with our Even if it Hurts characters.He didn’t set out to make her fall in love with him, and she didn’t set out to make him jealous enough to sabotage all of her potential relationships, but that’s where these two lovebirds find themselves in Wrapped in Red. It probably won’t be for everyone, it’s a bit more sexually adventurous than my average book with a much higher percentage of spice, but just like with all my books, the spice isn’t gratuitous. This is a man who won’t only rearrange the world to capture the heroine’s heart and keep it, he’ll savagely destroy the whole world (and whoever stands in his way) to do it.

Like any serial killer I suppose, he becomes obsessed, but I’ll just leave the rest of his villainous traits for you to discover because Dare is a thrill to read and needs to be enjoyed.

At first, I think maybe he dropped me, but then he parts my thighs and shoves his cock into me so aggressively, I cry out. I think a need a psychological evaluation, because every rational part of my being says I should not be so in love (or turned on) by this man’s antics.

His relationship with Aubrey is as unhealthy as it can come- and what a marvelously delicious portrayal. A boy offers her a drink- a boy that has a wrestler for a girlfriend, a VERY jealous girlfriend, and Aubrey gets pushed into the pool.Baymont, California is a land of beautiful villains and happy-ever-afters that are just out of reach. Probably my last forbidden romance (other than any I already have planned in other series) but definitely one of the hottest books I’ve ever written. But it was nothing compared to what she had to face when she crossed paths with Chase (Dare) Darington. Anae gives Dare a task to make Aubrey fall in love with him, but that task involves a lot more than just that.
