When I Adored You (Bad Desires #1)

Ever since they were young, James Sullivan found joy in scaring Kara. The thrill of seeing fear in her eyes whenever she approached his home to play with his brother was something he cherished. He would often sneak her into his room, keeping her there until she couldn't help but think only of him before leaving. However, in a moment of misguided priorities, James chose his ego over her, shattering Kara's heart irreparably. She made the decision to walk away, vowing never to return. James naively believed that after a brief fit of temper, she would come back as she always had. To his surprise, three long years passed without her, during which he rose to become the CEO of two significant companies. Now, with James consumed by an obsession to win Kara back, and her devoted fiancé fiercely fighting for her love, the stakes have never been higher. Whose love will triumph, and whose heart will be left behind in this intense battle?
