He gave her everything except the one thing she actually needed: the truth. Fatima Bari is deeper in now. Deeper into James Dubois's world - his family, his money, his bed, and the life he's building around her. What started as obsession in Book One has become something harder to name: love that feels like elevation, devotion that looks like control, and a man who gives her more of himself than anyone else has ever received. He gives her what feels like love. Affection. Adoration. Elevation. Status. Security. Sex. Stability. Instability. Volatility. Emotional care. Emotional violence. And more than anything, he gives her him. The parts no one else gets. The tenderness. The hunger. The silence. But what James takes is harder to see. It doesn't look like theft at first. It looks like protection. Like devotion. Like being chosen by a man powerful enough to change the shape of her life. By the time Fatima understands something has been taken from her, she may no longer know how to ask for it back. Or if she even wants to. You may love them, hate them, scream at them on the page -but you will not be able to turn away. A steamy, psychologically intense dark romance set in the world of Black D.C. luxury, old-money power, and dangerous devotion. Told entirely through her eyes. Book Two of the Gravity series. Continues directly from Gravity: The Book of James. Reader note (18+): Explicit sexual situations, blurred consent, psychological manipulation, family tension, and violence. This is not a safe love story. It's the one that won't let you go.
