Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet Book 1)

I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him, especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away, not when I want him to come closer.

I didn't mean to fall in love, but now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. The way she undresses... I'll keep watching and waiting until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go, not even when she begs me to.
