Corrupt in Love (Possessing Her Curves Book 8)

She’s falling for him. But he’s the enemy. Will their love start a war… or end it?

Owen
If my family knew who I was seeing...
They’d burn the city down to stop us.
I’m playing with fire.
But I can’t stop.
Claire is curvy, sassy, and off-limits.
They say all is fair in love and war.
I hope they’re right.
Because I’m not giving her up.

C.L. Cruz & Liz Fox have teamed up to bring you a new series!

Four brothers and their rivals who triumphed against all odds, no matter the cost. Now they’ve made it. One by one, they’ll become obsessed with possessing her curves.

This is a Steamy Short Story Romance. No Cliffhangers. This is the eighth in the Possessing Her Curves series, but it can also be read as a standalone. If you love short romances with steamy sex scenes and a happily ever after, then you’ll love this book.

“Tall, non-fat latte for Jason,” I call over the din of the mid-morning chatter that fills Hot Shots Cafe.
An older guy in a wrinkled business suit steps forward to take the cup from me. “It’s Justin,” he corrects me, rolling his eyes.
“Oh, my bad.” I shoot him a cheery smile that just makes him scowl. “Have a great day,” I call after him, turning back to the cash register.
It’s my favorite time of day—the morning rush is just dying down, and I can take my time to chit chat with customers. There are a few I look forward to every day. Like Aiden, the guy who sets up his laptop at the table in the corner while he nurses a green tea and works on the next Great American Novel. And my friend, Maggie, who works at the body shop down the street and pops in for a sandwich whenever she has some extra cash. And Julia the jogger who runs here every day to get an iced coffee to-go and to share the best neighborhood gossip.
This job isn’t for everyone, but it’s perfect for me, an incurable extrovert who never has enough people to talk to. With my father being the police chief—one who liked to protect his “investments”—it’s fair to say I’m a bit sheltered. Or I was, until my sister got herself a hot new man and a place to live big enough for all of us to share. Now, I’m making tons of friends and making up for lost time.
During a lull in customers, I check my phone and see a text from my sister, Connie. It’s the obligatory “airplane window looking out over a beautiful sky” shot with the words, See you soon.
While I hate that they had to cut their European tour short due to some trouble at her man’s work, I'm selfishly glad to have my sister back. The brownstone has been too quiet without her.
Smiling down at my phone, I text her back, Can’t wait!
“Boyfriend?”
My head jerks up at the sound of the deep, sultry voice, and I find myself staring into Owen Knight’s soulful brown eyes. Speaking of making up for lost time…
I clear my throat. “Sorry, what?”
He nods at the phone. “With the way you’re smiling, my guess is it’s a naughty, midday text from the boyfriend.”
The idea of me having naughty texts with anyone is absurd, but I guess he wouldn’t know that. And what’s the harm in a little flirtation, even if it is with Heathcliff’s resident bad boy? “If only I were so lucky,” I blurt out, then flush as I realize that’s not the kind of flirting I intended.
He laughs, and I lose a few more brain cells. “Maybe that’s something I can help you with,” he offers with a grin.
“Um, sure. It’s not like I have a boyfriend or anything.”
“Mm,” he hums, one corner of his mouth lifting into a smirk. “Good.”
Oh damn. He takes my phone and enters his number while I dig my nails into my palm to try to wake myself from what has to be a dream.
Owen Knight is strictly off limits, but tell that to my pounding heart. He doesn’t come into Hot Shots often, which makes sense considering it’s pretty squarely in Maximum Inc. territory, but when he does, I make sure to appreciate the eye candy. I drink in the sight of him now—his scruffy brown beard, the dimple in his right cheek, the way his black t-shirt hugs his muscular chest, outlining the shape of his extraordinary pecs. I’ve never wanted to be a piece of fabric more in my life.
