A stand-alone dark sensual romance
“There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.” – Hannah Gadsby
Revenge is a deadly weapon. But it takes a special kind of vengeance to make a woman kill without remorse, to laugh without mirth, to challenge without thought. Kidnapped at seventeen, held captive and then forced into the world of crime, Nishani Scott Callahan defines … Callahan defines fearless.
Back with her family eleven years later and ready for normalcy, fate strikes another blow. Abducted on her honeymoon, she’s severely assaulted. Fierce determination sees her escaping straight into the headlamps of a stranger’s vehicle.
Billionaire Colton Black is hardcore. A man who treads a fine line between good and bad. He’s got no time for love, until a rough pearl with dark hair and deep blue eyes lands in his lap, badly beaten and missing a chunk of her memory. Saving her means risking his guarded privacy, but her feistiness when she awakens catches him completely off-guard.
Equally unprepared, Nishani can’t fathom this ferociously controlled man who appears to reach past her scars to touch her fractured soul.
Will he be her salvation or her ruin?
For the reader who wants to delve beyond the average romance.

This is a great story and it has lots and lots of painful moments and situations.
Its amazing how a human being can undure so much pain, suffering and still continue to live. Finding a purpose and having something to focus is the secret.
I cried through Nishi pain and I fell in love with Colton over and over!

Captured me from page one…
After escaping a kidnapping where Nishani had suffered brutal sexual slavery she reins terror and murder on the ones that brutalized her. But once again, she finds herself taken and viciously beaten. She awakens to find good-looking Colton Black, known as the Black Lord, has rescued her. But also to realize she can’t remember everything of her past. This is a dark story with so many twists and turns. The book kept my attention the entire time trying to figure out how it would end.
Interesting storyline with many twists to keep me on the edge of my seat while reading. Took my emotions on a roller coaster ride. Drama and suspense to keep it exciting. Definitely recommend this book.

This is my first book by this author and I will be honest I wasn’t convinced at the start if this book was for me. I didn’t feel a connection at the start and found myself struggling to hold tight to the story. However, five chapters in and it all turned around. Colton and Nishani found their place with me and I was captivated by this dark, gritty and at times confronting story. These two have such strong personalities and have the perfect mix of her strength and resilience to his arrogance and protective nature. A romantic suspense that is raw, steamy, passionate and angsty. As you navigate through the twists and turns, revenge and love, Colton and Nishani will show you that it is possible to move from the darkness and finally find the light in life. A heart stopping, action packed love story that will break you a little but leave you feeling lighter as Colton shows Nishani that love really can come true.
A Stranger’s Affection is the second book in the Tough Love series and is a dark but compelling romance.
The darkness of this story takes you off guard at the beginning but keeps you turning the pages to see how the author could give Nishani any peace and hope in her life after her traumatic ordeal. The storyline is well written and has kidnapping, assault, abuse, drama, suspense, vengeance, and a chance for love. The characters are well developed and have amazing chemistry together. Is Nishani too damaged to grab a chance for love or will Colton be able to win her over?

I loved the chemistry between the characters.
