Hooked (Never After #1)

He wants revenge, but he wants her more.

"Once Upon A Time, there was a little boy.

His belly was full of laughter, his life was full of joy.

Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away.

The hole inside makes space for the devil to come and play.

His dreams were gone forever, he grew up way too fast.

An endless night of crocodiles, and watches made of glass.

He grew into a villain, the taste of vengeance on his tongue.

Craving to make his enemies pay for the misdeeds they had done.

Instead, he found a darling girl and refused to let her go.

For what better way to make the man pay than to steal his little shadow?"

James has always had one agenda: destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels.

When Peter’s twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up in James’s bar, he sees his way in. Seduce the girl and use her for his revenge. It’s the perfect plan until things in James’s organization begin to crumble. Suddenly, he has to find the traitor in his midst, and his plan for revenge gets murkier as James starts to see Wendy as more than just a pawn in his game.

Wendy has been cloistered away most of her life by her wealthy cold father, but a spontaneous night out with friends turns into an intense and addictive love affair with the dark and brooding James. As much as she knows James is dangerous, Wendy can’t seem to shake her desire for him. But as their relationship grows more heated and she learns more about the world he moves in, she finds herself unsure if she’s falling for the man known as James or the monster known as Hook.
