This is the second part of Urges, a dark romance series by USA Today bestselling author Sky Corgan.
Trent Stevens has Fennel so turned around that she doesn't know whether she's coming or going. An unexpected tryst in his office has her questioning if their relationship has turned from professional to personal.
When he starts giving her the cold shoulder, it quickly becomes apparent that things aren't what they seem. He plays a dangerous game of push and pull with both her emotions and her body. While he tells her to stay away, his actions speak the opposite.
Fennel's too intrigued to give up on Trent. There's a dark sexiness about him that she's yearned to experience. But when he finally lets her in, what he shows her is far beyond anything she could have imagined.
Disclaimer: This book ends in a cliffhanger.

“What do you know about Trent Stevens?” I've been waiting patiently for hours, trying to figure out how to launch into the conversation. There's no way I can do it without sounding more than a bit interested in him though.
Laura and I are sitting at the food court in the mall. I've been following her around for the past hour, watching her flit from store to store, trying on half a dozen outfits at each one. Her husband makes good money, which affords her the luxury of buying whatever she wants. Must be nice. All I can do is look and admire. If anything, I've been more of an observer than a shopper, giving advice about what outfits I think suit her the best. She's a petite little thing in all manners of the word. Nothing looks bad on her.
“You like him.” She smirks as she absentmindedly stabs at her salad. My burger and fries make me look like a lardo by comparison. No wonder she's so small and I'm so not. Had I known she was going to order something light, I wouldn't have gone for my normal staple. Oh well. There's no point in dwelling on it. At least, I'll know better next time.
“He's an interesting guy.” I avert my eyes, picking up a napkin to wrap around my burger so the juices don't get on my fingers.
“He's very handsome.” She nods.
