☆☆☆☆ "So, Tyson, do you just lurk around waiting to interrupt people or is that a special service you offer?" He leaned against the table, his gaze locking with mine. "I'd say it's a special service, but only for certain people. I wouldn't want you to think I'm not paying enough attention to you, love." "Is that so?" I raised an eyebrow, challenging him, "Because I was under the impression you enjoyed making my life difficult, not keeping an eye on it." He chuckled, crossing his arms. "Well, it seems like you could use the excitement." "Oh, trust me, my life's exciting enough without you stirring up trouble." I scoffed, but the corners of my mouth twitched upwards in a reluctant smile. "But, perhaps I'm the kind of trouble you need." ☆☆☆☆ Ashley, the daughter of a millionaire, moves to a new city and hopes for a fresh start.

"You think because you're wearing a suit and hiding behind bodyguards, you're untouchable?" Emily said, her voice laced with anger. She had waited too long to finally face him. Matteo smirked, leaning back in his chair like he had all the time in the world. "No, Detective," he said calmly. "I'm untouchable because every time someone tries to reach me... they disappear." Emily stepped forward. "Then maybe it's time someone like me breaks that pattern." His eyes followed her movement. "Careful, Emily," he said in a low voice. "Patterns can be dangerous… but obsessions? They're fatal." She didn’t flinch. Not this time. "This isn’t obsession," she said, barely above a whisper. "It’s justice." Matteo stood now, towering over her. He didn’t shout. He didn’t threaten. He just looked at her, and that was somehow worse. "Then why," he said, soft enough to cause her heart to jump, "does your pulse race every time I say your name?" **** Emily Thompson is one of the best detectives in the force.
