Toxic Love and Desires

TOXIC LOVE AND DESIRES is the combo paperback of the Toxic Duet Novellas. 

How toxic can love really be?

Meeting Aaron was the biggest mistake of my life. Not the addictions or my career choice, but the man I chose to marry. He wanted men to hurt me so he could ride in on the white horse to rescue me and take me away from the person he commanded to cause me all the pain in the first place. He was no hero. No white knight. 

Aaron took it too far when he brought a man to our home who looked past the bruises and saw the broken woman beneath them. Ryan was fiercely protective from the moment he laid his eyes on me and received his assignment. His dark confidence was more intoxicating than any drug, and I found myself wanting more of it.

Even though he saved me, I was still fractured. Broken. Craving all the wrong things despite the right thing being in front of me.  I didn't know how to love or be loved. I wasn't sure who I was when I was forced to be sober. I had to be taught my worth when I felt worthless.

But Aaron wasn't going to give up that easily. He wanted me back, and he would stop at nothing to get me. Ryan was strong and smart, though, and he made me feel safe.  He was my savior. My hero. At least, that's what I hoped he'd remain. 

Would Ryan be everything I ever needed?
