Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Love Series by Anna Antonia

I had gone to high school with Gabriel Gordon. Despite his heavenly name and matching beauty, Gabriel was anything but angelic. Rich, spoiled, and far too cynical for his age, he could easily charm the skirt off a prim beauty or a young teacher or two. Gabriel Gordon was mad, bad, and ...well, you probably know the rest. The years hadn't changed him, despite taking over his father's company and expanding it into a multinational corporation... moreI had gone to high school with Gabriel Gordon. Despite his heavenly name and matching beauty, Gabriel was anything but angelic. Rich, spoiled, and far too cynical for his age, he could easily charm the skirt off a prim beauty or a young teacher or two. Gabriel Gordon was mad, bad, and ...well, you probably know the rest. The years hadn't changed him, despite taking over his father's company and expanding it into a multinational corporation. Unfortunately, it was just my luck that I found myself working in Gabriel's building. Although I had managed to avoid him for the better part of a month, a chance encounter in the elevator proved he was still an arrogant man who showed far too much interest in the shape of my mouth and nape of my neck. From then on, Gabriel bedeviled me, teased me, and more often than not, made me want to throw things at his head. Still, just as in high school, I couldn't help but see the pain behind his lazy grin and the shadows in his crystalline gaze. When Gabriel confessed his love for me, I should have been the happiest woman in the world. Too bad I couldn't believe him... Emma Adams had always considered herself level-headed, even-tempered, and most of all, sane. So how did she become someone who couldn't seem to push Gabriel Gordon away? No matter how sweet his words could be or how easily passion exploded between them, getting involved with the outrageously wealthy playboy had to be the height of insanity. Given their tumultuous natures and personal demons, there was only way a relationship between them could survive: in madness. less

Standing on a literal pedestal, with my arms securely bound in front of me with yards of red ribbons and my body draped in a short virgin-white Grecian gown, I experienced a twinge of divinity. I was his goddess for the moment—one to be admired yet possessed. I wondered what Gabriel’s expression held as he looked at me. Pride? Lust? Yearning? Love? I didn’t know because I was blindfolded. Gabriel’s kiss ghosted on my upper thigh. Warmth settled low in my belly... moreStanding on a literal pedestal, with my arms securely bound in front of me with yards of red ribbons and my body draped in a short virgin-white Grecian gown, I experienced a twinge of divinity. I was his goddess for the moment—one to be admired yet possessed. I wondered what Gabriel’s expression held as he looked at me. Pride? Lust? Yearning? Love? I didn’t know because I was blindfolded. Gabriel’s kiss ghosted on my upper thigh. Warmth settled low in my belly. I itched to run my fingers through his golden hair as my lips crashed into his. My captivity punished even as it heated my blood. Gabriel was right—this truly would be an exercise in patience and control. The ache for him already etched itself deep in my bones. Denial and anticipation...it was the latest game I’d slowly learned to play with my devilish Gabriel Gordon... Emma Adams and Gabriel Gordon were a match made in a strange and unconventional heaven. The brilliant billionaire and the ambitious girl from the wrong side of the tracks had a tumultuous history that spanned a decade. After seven years apart, they were finally ready to make a go of their passionate and near-obsessive love. Together they had faced the revealing of his dark secret--Gabriel's need to dominate in the bedroom. Together they had pledged to see their relationship through to the end. And together they would find love wasn't enough when fear held the upper hand. Firmly used to being in total control of her life, Emma must face her doubts and insecurities if she was ever going to be able to accept the kind of dark love that led to Gabriel's tormented heart.
