Poison me softly
“I agreed to treat him before I knew I was meant to kill him.”
Dr. Cecilia Vale is a therapist, who has spent years learning how to fix broken minds, not destroy them. But when a powerful socialite offers her a job that could rebuild her ruined career and drag her out of a life she can barely survive. She accepts without asking too many questions.
Her newest patient is Jude Martinez.
A man feared by many, understood by none.
Cold, and dangerously perceptive, Jude is not the kind of man who trusts easily. Yet, within the quiet walls of their therapy sessions, he begins to reveal fragments of himself that no one else has ever seen. And Cecilia finds herself drawn in, despite every instinct warning her to stay away.
Because behind the smiles, deep conversations, and chemistry-filled banter, they exchange, there is a truth she cannot escape.
Jude’s wife did not hire her to help him.
She hired her to kill him.
With a poison that leaves no trace and a contract she cannot break, Cecilia is forced to choose between her survival and her conscience. But as the lines between duty and desire begin to blur, the man she was meant to destroy becomes the one person she cannot bear to lose.
And in a world built on power, betrayal, and blood, love is not just dangerous.
It is fatal.
