Control by Kathy Coopmans

Control is the next standalone romantic suspense in USA Today bestselling author Kathy Coopmans’ The Diamond Empire series. My mother warned me Jolie West was forbidden. Of course, I didn’t listen. Because all it took was one look at the girl with flaming, fiery hair, and I was captivated. Enthralled by her beauty and the blaze I saw burning behind her blue eyes. From the first touch of her warm skin, I was burned. Singed. That is until one conversation with my father turned my world upside down. He let me know I had family duties that I couldn’t walk away from. I went from fire to ice and broke mine and Jolie’s hearts. It’s what was best for her. Me? Not so much. My soul was lost the day I sent her away. Vowed right there she would forever own it. Even if, she’d never know. That was years ago when we were just teenagers. Not a day has gone by that I don’t crave her. Miss that spark that made a man like me come alive. I thought I was protecting her until I wasn’t. Someone hurt Jolie, and I won’t rest until I find out who. Now that she’s back in my life, I won’t let her go. Consequences be damned, I’m finally going to claim what’s mine.
