Knot

He knows everything. She has all the damn answers. I've always been a free spirit. It's my nature. I crave control, but with her it's far more. He's a power hungry climber. Her wealth could buy and sell me. It's too much pressure being the center of anyone's focus. She underestimates my desire for her, my need to please just her. When he's vulnerable, it's hard to deny him. Her crooked smile cripples me. He hides his demons, but I'm no fool. She thinks not committing to anyone makes her more honest. She's wrong. A man like him deserves someone who can offer that kind of love. She promises nothing, yet I feel like a king when she says my name. I never let anyone possess me like he did. Not before. Not after. My greatest regret was compromising. I should have never held back. Still, when we're apart I'm not myself. I miss the days when she was just down the hall. He's better off without me, and it hurts. The ugly truth is I need her more than she needs me. Our relationship was born out of lust and curiosity. The lies we told ourselves killed it. Together, we found Nirvana. We learned it was all a mirage. I ruined him. I broke her heart. I keep coming back. I can't let her go. KNOT is a contemporary romance and a complete standalone. It is the first spin-off from the best-selling Wake Series. You do not need to read BAIT, SAIL, or ANCHOR to enjoy this book in its entirety, but if you love angst you'll enjoy them, too.
