Fallen Into Flame - Leila Matthews

My name is Ash Montgomery, and I wear innocence like a weapon.

My only target?

Sebastian Cole.

Monsters are too simple. Too honest. Too easy to recognize. Sebastian Cole is something far more dangerous.

He’s wealth wrapped in discipline, power hidden behind charity, and a name people only dare to whisper. To him, I’m his daughter’s teacher - gentle, patient, harmless. Exactly the kind of woman a dangerous man might let into his home.

But my smiles are calculated. My gentle words are bait. Every moment spent near his daughter brings me closer to the truth.

Getting close should be simple. Earn his daughter’s trust. Slip into his world. Find the truth. Destroy him.

But Sebastian isn’t careless. He watches too closely. Touches too possessively. Commands too easily. And beneath his polished control is a darkness that should send me running.

Instead, it pulls me closer.

Because the deeper I slip into his world, the harder it becomes to tell whether I am hunting the monster...

Or falling for him.
