Hutch Winston knew Blake van Hamilton was trouble since she was a teenager. The forced proximity angle sets it all ablaze. It contains an insanely hot hero and the curvy, feisty socialite he’s hired to protect. ( Fearless is a stand-alone enemies-to-lovers romantic-suspense novel. I may be fearless, but how I feel about him scares me most of all. Every part of me wants him in every possible way. I have to keep my head and my heart in line - not to mention my body.

Note the word brute from the outset of the piece: Poe, through the narrator, litters the text with clues toward the narrator’s perverse relationship with a particular black cat. He enjoys, “caressing them,” and referred to them as one of his, “principal sources of pleasure.” Fortunately for the narrator his wife shares similar sentiment for animals, which allows him to live in a house that could be likened to a personal zoo.
