Just You and Me

Lila Thorne flees her suffocating hometown for a new life in New York, hoping to reconnect with her first love. But the city delivers a different kind of nightmare when she collides with Max Cooper—a ruthless businessman who doesn't just crave control, he expects it.

After a violent incident at the club where she works, Max marks her as his next fixation. He knows he should leave her alone. He doesn't. He chalks their meeting up to fate.

His curiosity about Lila, a woman who can't hide her revulsion toward him, quickly turns to obsession. She's irrelevant to his ambitions, yet she infiltrates every thought he tries to bury.

He draws her into a one-month arrangement layered with addictive chemistry, a seductive trip overseas, and extravagant gifts meant to break down every barrier. She never asked for his attention... but her body betrays her long before her resolve does.

As Max tightens his grip physically, emotionally, and financially, Lila's attempts to break free only drag them deeper into a dangerous, electric connection neither of them is sane enough to escape. Haunted by her past and trapped in Max's fixation, she must choose whether survival means fighting him... or surrendering to the man who mirrors her darkness too perfectly to resist.
