‘She possessed a fragile quality that suggested she would bruise if you breathed too heavily over her. The beast within me roared.’

Gabriel Knight was the man who consumed my every thought. I shouldn’t want him, but my heart wouldn’t listen to reason. Unashamedly good-looking and tall, with a body stacked with muscle. He was lucky he possessed such a powerful build; considering he carried a chip the size of London on his shoulders.
A pristine display of civilised masculinity Gabriel was dark and dangerous; a brute in disguise. His sharp, jaded edges were buried beneath an unshakable facade.
I burned for his affection, even though I knew it would only end in tears.

FRAGILE
adjective
easily broken or damaged

Penniless and orphaned: pretty ballet student Leonie, needed a place to stay. Fortunately, her new friend Asher, had an empty room in the apartment he shared with his brother, the brooding, unpredictable Gabriel.
Leonie was unprepared for how strongly she was drawn to a man who was so thoroughly disagreeable and her opposite in every way: hard to her soft, sour to her sweet.
For ruthless law graduate Gabriel Knight, life was not all it appeared to be. His powerful family had expectations, but Gabe had a point to prove. One day, he would rise from the ashes; just not those belonging to a villainous father and his criminal associates.
The last thing Gabe needed was a distraction, especially one as sweet and pure as Leonie Smith; she had the face of an angel and a body made for sin.
A master of control, Gabriel tormented Leonie by unchaining his inner demons and revealing that darker side. The purposeful cruelty of his actions sent a warning; one she would be foolish to ignore.
Can Leonie save Gabriel from forfeiting his soul and will Gabe have the strength to protect the one woman who owns his fragile heart?

There are two sides to every story. On this journey, let’s hear what they both have to say.

Notes from the Author: The Love in London series is written from the perspective of the main female lead and the male lead. Sparks will fly! This is a bully romance with dark elements.
Fragile can be read as a stand-alone story but is better read in series order.
