Eerie Take

A good pick when you want plenty of heat alongside a family feud that turns dangerous. Samara and Beckett are both stubborn enough to make the sparks believable, and their quieter moments give the romance heart. Expect grief, abusive family dynamics, and violence as well as the banter.

Samara Mallick has spent years building a career she refuses to gamble on a man—even one as tempting as her business rival, Beckett King. But when Beckett inherits his father's oil company, a bitter family feud turns into a series of increasingly dangerous attacks. The woman working for his greatest rival may be the one person he can trust. Between stolen time together and a search for answers, Samara and Beckett have to decide whether they can build a future without either of them surrendering who they are.
