The Ceos Hidden Desire

"Take her," the dangerous man orders casually, like I'm the most boring little human he's ever encountered in his life. "I said stay the fuck away!" I yell at him this time, causing him to tilt his head in amusement. "A little girl like you shouldn't be swearing at your elders. It's bad habit. Your daddy should have taught you better." Hold on. My daddy. And if I heard correctly the first time, the other man had mentioned something about 'daughter' and 'grown woman'. Shit! What's going on? This must be Darius Hunter! And how do they know about my existence!? Oh no! My father! Have they taken him? Have they hurt him? "Darius... Hunter?" I stutter in sheer terror, the dangerous man tensing as I mention his name. "You know my name. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed," Darius chuckles, amusement seeping into his tone. "Errrm... I... Where's my father...?" My demand sounds more like a plea, my voice shuddering in painful anticipation. "Waiting for you at my place. He said we should come get you. I didn't expect you to be old enough to beat up my man. I am definitely impressed, and your value, my dear, has just gone up." --------------------------- Allison, a confined young woman who finds solace in books and writing, is thrust into a world of danger and deceit when her father, Frank, a reformed gambler turned priest, sells her to Darius Hunter, the infamous "Devil of California," to settle an old debt.

Yet, as Allison navigates the treacherous waters of her new life, she discovers hidden strengths, forms unexpected bonds, and unravels the dark secrets of her family’s past. Amidst turmoil and passion, Allison and Darius find themselves entangled in a powerful and transformative love story, punctuated by shocking twists and turns.

SYNOPSIS In the city of Avalon, manipulation isn't just an art, it's a war. Lucian Vale, the world's most elusive manipulator, orchestrates a crisis designed to cripple economies and outplay his greatest rival, Ariadne Wolfe. But when Magnus Cain, a master strategist who doesn't play by the rules, steps in, the board is flipped before Lucian even realizes the game has changed. As alliances crumble and global power shifts, the world's greatest minds race to stay one move ahead, and survival means outthinking the ones who see everything. CONTENT WARNING This novel focuses on the strategic consequences of manipulation rather than explaining manipulation techniques in a way that could be used practically. It explores mind games, deception, and psychological warfare but does not serve as a manual for manipulation. It aligns with many political thriller and espionage novels, which depict power struggles, intelligence misdirection, and strategic deception without directly teaching harmful tactics. The emphasis is on narrative intrigue, character conflicts, and the cascading effects of manipulation in events rather than step-by-step instructions on manipulation. If the concern is about violating certain cultural sensitivities, the story can be framed as a high-stakes intelligence thriller, similar to many intellectual novels or dramas, without promoting unethical behavior.
