He Saw Me First

Description

My secret has been kept for ten years . . . my time is up. I’m in the small town of Ravish Oregon where nobody can hide. I’ve come here for a reason . . . and I’m not going to run anymore . . . Cassandra Montana has spent years running from a past too dark to confront, hiding behind a new name and a carefully constructed life in the quiet town of Ravish, Oregon. By day, she’s the owner of a cozy bookstore and coffee shop, a woman trying to blend into the fabric of small-town life. But by night, she’s someone else entirely—a dancer in an exclusive club, a woman who uses seduction as a weapon, taking back the power stolen from her long ago. For fourteen years, Cassandra has lived with the scars of a childhood torn apart by violence, pain, and secrets too dangerous to expose. She’s built walls around her heart, trusting no one, relying only on herself. But the past has a way of catching up, and when a mysterious, dangerously alluring man walks into the club and calls her by her real name, everything she’s worked so hard to bury threatens to rise to the surface. Greyson River is a man who always gets what he wants. With wealth, power, and a body sculpted to perfection, he’s used to women falling at his feet. But Cassandra is different—she’s a challenge, an enigma, and the key to something much bigger than either of them realizes. He’s determined to unravel her secrets, even as she fights to keep them hidden. As passion and danger intertwine, Cassandra is forced to confront the truth: some monsters never truly die, and the past she thought she escaped may be the one thing that destroys her. When the people she loves most become pawns in a deadly game, she must decide—run once more or finally stand and fight. He Saw Me First is a gripping tale of survival, redemption, and the undeniable pull of fate.
