You Almost Had Me

Some men don't destroy you with cruelty. They destroy you with love. Selena Cole has spent years building a life no one can take from her — a thriving design studio, hard-earned independence, and walls around her heart strong enough to survive anything. Then she meets Damien Voss. Billionaire. Visionary. Dangerous in ways that don't announce themselves immediately. When Selena lands the opportunity of a lifetime redesigning Damien's breathtaking penthouse, she tells herself it's just another contract. Just another client. But Damien sees her too clearly. Touches the parts of her no one else reaches. Loves her with an intensity that feels impossible to resist. What begins as obsession-worthy romance soon becomes something darker. Canceled meetings. Quiet control. Isolation disguised as devotion. And slowly, almost invisibly, Selena's world begins revolving around one man. By the time she realizes Damien's love is less a sanctuary and more a beautifully designed cage, pieces of herself have already disappeared inside it. Now Selena must face the most devastating choice of her life: Stay with the man she loves and lose herself completely… or walk away from the most powerful connection she has ever known and pray there is still enough of her left to survive it. Because some games were never meant to be won. Only survived.
