TAKE DOWN

by Allison Forbes

Gabriel Mattiozzi is a renowned man-whore. He’s a playboy; a rich, goodlooking, confident guy who nobody ever says no to, and that’s exactly how he likes it. In every situation in his life, be it at work or in the bedroom, he enjoys very much to be in control at all times. Until now, nobody has ever been able to challenge him, to match his desires and his needs - that is, until he finally meets his nemesis. A woman who can take his balls pretty much seconds after they first meet, Gabriel is initially shocked and confused at his instantaneous - almost feral - attraction to this woman. Embracing these alien desires, the playboy soon happily abandons his own defences and allows himself to be taken over by the notion of one man one girl, and a scripted fairytale ending, the kind of romance that used to represent everything he despised about dating. But is it possible to be all in with a woman with more emotional baggage than he could have ever bargained for, and a violent ex who just won't give her up? Relationships aren't easy. Navigating one with the spectre of abuse constantly hanging overhead is harder still. Are these two unlikely lovers strong enough to withstand the pitfalls of this romance, or will past experiences always intervene?
