Hooked
A dark contemporary romance from viral BookTok and USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire, featuring reimagined characters from popular fairy tales and other stories.
James has always led a life driven by a single purpose: to destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. The opportunity for revenge presents itself when Peter's twenty-year-old daughter, Wendy, steps into James's bar. Seeing a chance to hurt his foe, James devises a plan to seduce Wendy and manipulate her for his vendetta.
However, as Wendy becomes entangled in his life, things within James’s organisation begin to unravel. A traitor threatens his plans, causing his revenge plot to take a back seat. In the midst of the chaos, James finds himself increasingly drawn to Wendy, seeing her as more than a mere chess piece in his game.
Wendy, who has spent much of her life under the strict control of her distant and wealthy father, finds herself captivated by James’s dark allure. What begins as a spontaneous night out evolves into an intense and addictive love affair. Despite the danger James represents, Wendy is unable to resist her growing desire for him.
As their relationship intensifies, Wendy gets a deeper view into James’s world, which is far more perilous than she could have imagined. She faces the ultimate dilemma: is she falling for the man known as James, or the monster known as Hook?
Hooked joins the Never After series as a dark and sexy reimagining of a classic tale, twisting it into an enticing new shape for mature readers. This tale of revenge, passion, and reimagined fairy tale characters will keep you hooked from the first page to the last.
