Daring to Live

Sweet, fiercely loyal and introverted despite being a famous Pop Star, Harper Isabel Romano does not believe in the concept of romantic love- even though she has sung ballads about it.

Between her busy schedule and her tattered, destroyed heart, she has no desire for a relationship or anything akin to romantic love.

Yes, she adored music. It was her first, after all. It had kept her alive when she wanted nothing else.

Her three best friends and brother were also exceptions, the only people who came close enough to earning her absolute devotion.

But when trouble emerges, a situation threatening her first true passion- music, she finds herself seeking solace with a man she barely knows. A man who screams danger and despair from a mile away. A man who threatens her sanity by eliciting emotions in her. Feelings she thought had died.

Because despite Raiden's cold, unassuming personality, he made her feel alive. Wanted. Protected. Cherished.

For the first time in her life, she Dares to dream of a world where she is genuinely Alive. *** Enchanting, Lethal and wise enough to keep all his cards close to heart, Billionaire Raiden Hattori is a leviathan hidden behind the tailored suits and persona of a stoic gentleman.

He has never had time for love, for hearts and flowers. Not when he was drenched in the Sins of his Past and Present but when he listens to her sing, watches her imbue emotion into her music and bring it to life, he can't ignore her or the pull he has towards the famous pop star whose eyes behold suffocating sadness.

She is a Puzzle he cannot solve, the object of his obsession. And when the chance to get close to her, to study her and understand the pull comes, he breaks all his rules. He tables a deal she can never refuse.

He Dares to Live only for her.

His only Exception.

Theirs is an all-consuming, erotic love filled with secrets and tainted by past demons....and when it all unravels, it threatens to destroy them. ***
