USA Today best-selling author, Willow Winters, brings you an all-consuming, sizzling romance featuring an epic antihero you won’t soon forget. Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it. That’s how I’d describe what happened to us.Everything around me … us.
Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch…
The chase and the heat between us became addictive.
Our nights together were a distraction, one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us.
We should have paid more attention; we should have known that it would come to this.
We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most.
All we wanted was each other…
“The emotions Willow evokes in this are on another level. This small glimpse into the world of Marcus is thrilling, chilling, a little bit sweet and a whole lot of just wow. You won’t want to miss this one.” – Ky Reads Romance
This is part one of an epic tale of both betrayal and all-consuming love.

This prequel to This Love Hurts left me wanting more, I can’t wait for Marcus story. I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading it. You won’t want to miss this one. Willow has done it again! I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This was such a great read.
Willow has, once again, written a must read story.
I am on the edge of my seat waiting to read what comes next.
The beginning I’ve been waiting for! And just when it began, it was over, leaving me wanting more. Impeccable hooks, characters you want to crawl into, and this entire world Willow has created are truly amazing. I am so pumped to read the rest of Marcus’ story, and the questions and twistiness of this one just made me want it more.
DO YOU WANT ME? By W. Winters
This prequel is the start of the story I have been waiting for, MARCUS! He’s the man of mystery, the man in the shadows, the man who wields power over the Cross brothers, the man who is always just out of reach, the man who has eyes every where, he sees all and knows all too. Delilah Jones an attorney and Cody Walsh an FBI agent who work together and start having an affair. Cody is playing with fire, he knows Marcus is there and watching everything. Marcus thinks Delilah is his, but we don’t know why yet. Cody had a deal with Marcus he reneged on. When you make a deal with the devil you risk you will get burned.
Willow Winters is one tremendously gifted writer with such a knack for completely sucking you into a book right away until the next thing is you look up and 2 hours have passed while you were entralled and glued to the story. She brings everything to her work, with very detailed well developed characters, drama, smokin’ hot chemistry, passion, angst, and a cliffhanger.
UGH!!! I have been thrust into cliffhanger hell! The story will continue in This Love Hurts, and I cannot wait! Absolutely 5 stars!

Do You Want Me? is a prequel to Marcus’ story. I have been so excited to finally find out about Marcus since we have seen him from the beginning of this world that Willow Winters has created. Marcus has stayed in the shadows but has been a key player the whole time. In Do You Want Me? he is watching Delilah & Cody. They have been friends at work & out of work. When they take their friendship to the next level, what will Marcus think? Marcus has had his eyes on Delilah for awhile. Talk about a cliffhanger! Willow Winters is the Queen of Cliffhangers! I can’t wait for the rest of Marcus’ story.
Amazing. I highly recommend this prequel. If you follow the Merciless and Hard To Love series you definitely want to read this. It reels you in and gives you just enough of Cody, Delilah, and Marcus to tie you over until This Love Hurts comes out. Willow continues to deliver every time
I have been waiting for Marcus’s story for so long and I have finally had a peak of what is to come. I couldn’t stop reading this beauty, it still has you guessing, Marcus is still not revealed just a little bit and I loved it, I love this mystery Its already grabbed my heart given me goose bumps I can’t wait until this story unfolds!!
I am craving more of Marcus’s story after reading this, I can not wait for more
Wow! What a way to start understanding the dynamic of Delilah, Cody Walsh and Marcus. Do you Want Me? is the prequel to This Love Hurts. Although most of the book is Delilah’s story and her relationship with Cody, we do start to get a sense of why Marcus is obsessed with her as well as Cody. Bits and pieces of Cody and Marcus’s relationship is also revealed and little surprise as to why Cody and Marcus’s relationship starts to go south. Could it be over a woman? The innocent one in all this that has been tangled in their web of lies and deceit without even realizing it. Her connection to both men is the start of her downfall, her fall from grace. It all started with a case that brought them all together, and a case that haunts them all. The biggest surprise of all is the person responsible for the domino affect that changes all their fates.
Willow Winters has left me with such want. She did an amazing job luring me into Cody, Delilah and Marcus’s past. Each memory, each interaction, each observation, I felt was purposely planted by Willow. Pieces that need to be out together to complete a puzzle. I loved it and I want more of Marcus, Cody and Delilah’s story.
With each and every new release Willow just gets better and better and Do You Want Me is no exception. This was the perfect taste of what’s to come in this hearting pounding, scorching hot, romantic suspense that packs a serious punch. I’m unbelievably excited to see where the next installment of the Merciless world takes us.
5 OMG OMG OMG STARS!! OMG….I was on pins and needles through this book. I need more….I am dying. This author starts the engine and begins to move forward and BAM… we are stopped. I need this engine to start again….I am on the edge of the cliff waiting to go over.
Oh how I wish I would have waited until closer to July to dive into this one.
Mystery, suspense, hotness in such a short novella speaks of the way W. Winters can pull you into a whole different reality but this most certainly left me wanting more.
Man in the Shadows…
Finally we meet Marcus. It’s been an anticipated wait, but boy was it worth it. This prequel to Marcus’s story This Love Hurts blew me away. This is the beginning of where we find out about Cody Walsh, Marcus and Delilah. Anyone that is invested in the Merciless World will be thrilled with this intense peek into the man that has alluded everyone.
My blood chilled when we finally come face to face in print with the man that we only know as a “monster” that lurks in the dark, but hides in plain sight. I can’t wait for This Love Hurts.
An epic tale of both betrayal and all-consuming love.
We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most.
All we wanted was each other…
On the edge of my seat rollercoaster ride of emotions!
We finally get to read the start of Marcus’s story of one crazy journey about Marcus, Delilah, the Cross Brothers and Agent Walsh. This story is written with a new feeling from the others and it’s refreshing to see Marcus as a man with feelings for Delilah knowing he shouldn’t have them. When Agent Cody knows he should stay away from Delilah he can’t and gives in to give them both what they want, comfort and amazing sex. They start out secretly but once it’s out in the open things professional get complicated for Delilah and as she retreats we get to see about her family and past. When Agent Walsh ends up sharing his family past with Delilah we see him as a caring man with a past that haunts him. Maybe this is the common thread between Marcus and Agent Walsh. Marcus is one mastermind behind making those around him to do what he wants. I look forward to reading why Marcus is out to cause hurt for the Cross brothers and how Delilah has become who she is today. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
We are finally getting a sneak peak into Marcus and his story. This is a novella but gives the reader the first look into this character who has been swarming around all the stories. Can’t wait for the rest of his storyline. Should be an awesome series. Willow delivers again.
So so good. I loved this book so much. I really enjoyed it so much that I can’t wait to read it again.
