Under His Cruel Gaze: Love’s Awakening

Adrian West has waited fourteen years to avenge his mother's suicide.

His target? Innocent college student Ella Morrison, whose mother once destroyed his family.

When he offers her one million dollars for a single night in his bed, Ella accepts—desperate to pay her mother's mounting medical bills. What she doesn't know is that this is merely the beginning of his meticulously planned revenge.

He intends to break her. Humiliate her. Make her suffer as his family suffered.

But as his cruel game unfolds, forbidden attraction ignites between predator and prey. With every touch, every confession in the darkness, the lines blur. Adrian discovers Ella harbors secrets that challenge everything he believed about the past.

Can hatred twisted by desire transform into something else? Or will the weight of revenge destroy them both?

Some traps capture more than their intended prey.
