Her Nightshade — Cassandra Vega

Ana:

I've always been self-reliant -- strong, independent, and resilient.

Then Charlie Ashford crashed into my life.

Twelve years younger, incredibly charismatic, and dangerously intense, he pulled me in when I least expected it.

I told myself to stay away, to keep my distance, to walk away before he unraveled me completely.

But there's something about the way he looks at me, the way he surrenders to my control.

I should resist him, but I can't. And what terrifies me the most is that I don't want to.

Charlie:

The moment I saw Ana, something in me broke.

I didn't just want her -- I needed her, like air, like life itself.

She told me it could only be one night, but I couldn't accept that. I pushed my way into her world, broke down her walls, and made her see what I already knew:

We belong together.

She's strong, untouchable, and unlike anyone I've ever known. Her strength captivates me, her power consumes me.

And she has me on my knees, begging for more.
