Illusive (Crossroads Book 2)

She knows exactly who he is — and that's precisely the problem.

When fate keeps colliding two people who want nothing more than to hate each other, the line between rivalry and desire stops making sense. She built her walls for good reason. He's the kind of man who finds walls a personal challenge. Every sharp word between them crackles with something neither is willing to name, and the harder they push against each other, the harder it becomes to remember why they're supposed to be fighting in the first place.

He is infuriating. Brilliant. Impossible to ignore. She is guarded. Fierce. More wounded than she lets anyone see. Together, they are a collision course that neither can walk away from — even when walking away is the only smart choice left.

But smart choices have never felt as good as the wrong ones.

Sylvia Day delivers a story that refuses to let you catch your breath — where attraction feels like a threat, vulnerability feels like surrender, and the moment two stubborn hearts finally stop running reads like the exhale you've been holding since page one.

Some things are only illusive until the moment they aren't. And once you see them clearly, you can never unsee them.

*This is the love story they never planned — and the one they can't escape.*
