Consequences - Paperback

by Aleatha Romig (Author)

"Nobody ever did or ever will escape the consequences of his choices." - Alfred A. Montapert

One choice.
One encounter.
One life destroyed.

Claire Nichols wakes inside a luxurious mansion with no memory of how she got there-and no way to escape.
The last thing she remembers is Anthony Rawlings.

Powerful. Wealthy. Untouchable.

To the outside world, Anthony is a polished wealthy man admired by the elite. Behind closed doors, he's cold, obsessive, and dangerously accustomed to getting exactly what he wants.

And now he wants Claire.

In Anthony's world, obedience is expected. Perfection is demanded. And appearances matter more than truth.

Claire quickly learns the rules:
Do as you're told.
Never fail in public.
Protect the illusion at all costs.

But Claire refuses to break.

As she searches for a way to survive the man who stole her freedom, she begins uncovering the dark obsession beneath Anthony's flawless control. Because the deeper their twisted connection grows, the harder it becomes to separate fear from desire.

And in a world built on wealth, manipulation, and power, falling for the wrong man may destroy them both.
Welcome to Anthony Rawlings' world.

Failure isn't an option.

Have you been Aleatha'd?

A twisted dark, wealth-and-power romance featuring a morally gray antihero and a heroine trapped inside his world of luxury, manipulation, and obsession. Book one of the Consequences series, one of the original dark romance series.
