Please note, 'As The World Falls' is a contemporary dark romance novel with mature themes. Up or Down - Which way did I want to go?

I’ve been alone most of my life. I had my best friend, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted my brother back, and then we could restore our fractured family. So, when my brother finally resurfaces after being M. I. A for the last few years, I think I finally have my chance. He says I could trust him now, but things aren’t what they seem, including his new boss, James Kingston, who also happens to be his best friend.

They call him the cold king of the rich. CEO of a vast crystal jewelry empire and alleged criminal, his secrets are darker than anything I’ve faced, which is why I can’t let my brother be in his life.

So, when James offered me a job to clear his name, I saw it as an opportunity to unmask his true nature and rescue my brother from his influence. But the more I learn about him, the more I realize that he’s every bit as sinister as I suspected. Yet, despite my best intentions, I find myself inexplicably drawn to him and his world.

A dangerous allure that threatens to derail my mission.

My perception of him, of myself, and the world is shifting, and life as I once knew it is never the same again.
