Just Watch Me

I always imagined my first kiss as this all-powerful kind of thing. I would meet a man who stopped my heart and started it all at the same time. He would be tall. I'd have to stand on my toes to meet him. When our lips brushed, I would know. This is it. This is the rest of my life. Now that moment was stolen from me. That will never be my story. Instead, my first kiss was given away without my consent-to a man who is older than my parents-in front of hundreds of people. I will never forgive any of them for this.

Someone makes a loud 'whoop' noise in the crowd and the wedding guests laugh as my new husband grabs me by the waist and nearly growls at me. God, I want to vomit. I make a promise to myself right then and there. This wedding will never be consummated. I would rather die a virgin than let this man inside my body.

Lex has always done as she is told. Now, she is forced to marry a man nearly three times her age to save her family from debt and (more importantly) embarrassment. She wastes away in his mansion for two years before Bobby arrives. He has been hired to live on the grounds and maintain the property. His presence in her life will set in motion things that, once consummated, cannot be undone.

He is a reminder of what exists outside these walls.

He may just be the escape she has been looking for.

Just Watch Me is the fourth story from a steamy new author. Giselle Cox is the over-the-top secret alias of a well-loved romance author. Her books are short, spicy, and full of all the obsessed alpha men you can handle. Prepare for some delicious (slightly toxic) fun, and try not to take yourself too seriously.

This book contains a large age gap, an obsessive guy, and a stereotypically innocent girl. The relationship is toxic at best, but it is also page-meltingly steamy. I do not condone this type of power imbalance, but I definitely condone reading about it!
