Free Audio Book : The Maddest Obsession, By Danielle Lori

She's terrified of darkness. He commands it.

Her dresses are uncomfortably snug, her heels towering, and her laughter often boisterous. She eats without concern for decorum and frequently mangles common expressions. Yet, these are merely glittering distractions, veiling her struggles with one panic attack after another.

Gianna's façade is impenetrable... until he appears.

To most, he personifies moral virtue; a special agent upholding justice. In the realm of New York's underworld, he's recognized as a hustler, a killer, his heart as cold as the ice within his chest. Christian Allister has adhered to the life blueprint he conceived in his youth, within the harsh confines of a cold, damp cell. Guided by an affinity for order and a fixation on the number three, he's never been tempted to deviate from his path. But, perhaps, one should never declare "never" too definitively...

On a winter night, their fates collide. She despises him for his icy demeanor, his arrogance, and his keen perception. Yet, as the years pass, even as their interactions consist of trading insults about each other's appearance and intelligence, she finds herself thriving on their exchanges.

Christian's plans never accounted for Gianna. She embodies chaos, defies his preferences, and is married, but none of that prevents his eyes from tracing her every move.

All along, she remains oblivious that she's become his source of frustration, his subject of fascination. His most consuming obsession.
