Eyes In The Darkness

Taming the Darkness

In a world ruled by power, secrets, and betrayal, Damian Steele, a cold, ruthless billionaire with a dark past, has built an empire on fear and destruction. Feared by his enemies and worshipped by his allies, he has one rule: emotions are weaknesses that can destroy everything. Yet, his unshakable world spirals into chaos when he crosses paths with Elena Carter, a simple, nerdy girl with big glasses, a messy ponytail, and an undying passion for books. Elena is everything Damian is not: quiet, kind, and utterly ordinary. She’s just trying to live a peaceful life, far away from the chaos Damian embodies. But when she inadvertently becomes a pawn in one of his dangerous schemes, she’s thrust into his dark and dangerous world. Damian is drawn to her in ways he doesn’t understand—a maddening obsession that threatens to unravel the ruthless persona he has built. For the world, Damian Steele is a monster, but for Elena, he’s willing to become something he never thought he could be—a man capable of love. But his love is anything but gentle. It’s fierce, possessive, and all-consuming. As Damian's enemies close in, Elena discovers there’s more to his dark world than she ever imagined. With secrets lurking in every shadow, she must decide if she can trust a man who destroys everything he touches, even if his love for her burns brighter than anything else in his life. Will their love survive the darkness of Damian’s world, or will it be the very thing that tears them apart?

When darkness falls in love

Excerpt* As Cian removed his jacket, revealing a serpent-like tattoo on his chest, a chill ran down her spine. “Who sent you?” she asked, her voice quivering as she clutched the sheets tightly around her. Cian smirked, “Which insignificant creature would dare to command me?” Confused, she glanced at the doors, praying for someone to walk in and save her from this dangerous stranger. “Then why are you here?” she managed to ask, her heart pounding in her chest. Cian casually tossed his jacket onto the nearest chair, revealing his muscular chest and the glowing, serpent-like tattoo that coiled around it. “For you, sweetheart,” he replied, his voice deep and seductive. She stared into his piercing, emerald-green eyes, awed by their luminescence. They seemed to pierce right through her, illuminating her heart and igniting a fire within her that she couldn’t quite extinguish. As Cian moved closer, he bent down to look her directly in the eyes, his gaze penetrating. “Marry me,” he whispered, his voice low and dangerous. She recoiled in horror, pushing his hand away as she tried to back away from him. “Pardon me, my Lord, but I must refuse your offer,” she said, her voice shaking with fear. Cian let out a low, sinister laugh as he pulled off his shirt, revealing the full extent of the tattoo that seemed to writhe and twist on his skin. He crawled onto the bed, pinning her down as he loomed over her. She struggled against him, trying to break free from his grip, but he was too strong. He leaned in close, his breath hot against her skin as he whispered, “Sweetheart, what is mine is mine, and what is yours is mine.” “She froze, her heart racing as she realized the danger she was in and how ridiculously aroused she was getting. Cian, with his piercing gaze and devilish grin, knew exactly what he was doing.

Ava frowned at the sudden shift in topic. "But..." He pulled her closer. "Do you know when they resemble the brightest one?" Ava’s lips parted, but no sound escaped them. Felix gently brushed a strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear. "When you look at me with that innocence in your eyes." He paused, their gazes locking, eyes drowning in each other.
