Dreadful Desire
The Desire Series #1
What if the man who ruins your day… turns out to be your new boss—and the one man who can ruin you completely?
Chloe Knox has one rule: never fall in love. Love destroyed her family, wrecked her childhood, and left her emotionally scarred. Now a freshly graduated financial expert with everything to prove, Chloe is focused, guarded, and ready to take on the corporate world—until one humiliating encounter derails everything.
Axle Cross is cold, commanding, and sinfully magnetic. As the powerful CEO of Cross Enterprises, he's used to people trembling in his presence—not insulting him over spilled coffee. But when Chloe storms into his life with fire in her voice and defiance in her eyes, he decides one thing: he wants her. Not just in his company, but under his control.
What starts as a professional clash becomes a dangerous game of desire, dominance, and secrets. As Chloe falls deeper into Axle’s world of luxury, lust, and control, she’s forced to choose: keep her heart locked away—or surrender to the man who threatens to consume it.
Steamy, emotional, and wickedly addictive, Dreadful Desire is a dark workplace romance full of forbidden heat, irresistible tension, and a love that defies every rule.
