Love, Passion and Power: Part 1. The Dark and Damaged Hearts Series, #1

For too long I've let my past haunt my present and hobble my future. I've been running from love, intimacy and commitment for so long, I have no idea how to stop and let it catch up. Until I meet Justin. With a practiced swagger and a cocky smile, he's got more money than I've ever imagined and I'm pretty sure he's never heard the word no in his life. He's so not my type. And yet, in just one day-and one night-he's burrowed himself so deep under my skin, I'm suddenly desperate to trust again.
But that's easier said than done. I've never felt such a connection, never felt such pleasure or passion before-never felt so loved. But my hang-ups keep getting in the way of my happiness. I need to trust before I can fall completely, and as incredible as Justin is, I'm not sure I can trust him. I might just sabotage our future before it's even begun.***Trigger warning: self-harm talk, talk of past r*pe, f/f/m scenes
