dark modern day gothic romantic suspense

In the French Quarter of New Orleans, Josie Villefranche, owner of Hotel Josephine, owes taxes that if not soon paid will mean losing her business. The murder of guest Claire Laraway in room 2D two weeks ago has driven away her customers leading to Josie letting go her last maid go due to her inability to pay her. Drew "Closer" Morrison, known as a business piranha, who can get anyone to sell has arrived to close the deal for a hotel chain to buy Hotel Josephine from a money-strapped Josie. However, the shark is shocked when he finds he is attracted to Josie; she too is taken aback by her desire for her guest. As they share passionate ardent lovemaking, someone tries to force Josie to sell using dangerous deadlier methods that even a Closer like Morrison would never utilize. Drew realizes he must choose between love and money. OBSESSION is a dark modern day gothic romantic suspense that grips the audience from the moment that Josie and Drew meet and never slows down whether the scene is fervent heat in the boudoir or someone attempting to force the heroine to sell. Josie's desire to hold on is admirable and a bit obstinate while Drew's past is not something to write home proudly to mother about as he has used some underhanded tactics, but nothing like his rival is doing; before Josie he did not care what anyone thought but now he fears she will accuse him of the dastardly potentially lethal stunts. Tori Carrington provides a gripping blazing thriller. Harriet Klausner

The fiery attraction between them is instantaneous. But will Josie end up being badly scorched when she finds out why he's really there? What Josie isn't aware of is that Drew's there to convince her to sell...using any means he can. After all, he's not called "The Closer" for any other reason. But even Drew has to admit there's an attraction between himself and Josie. She's mysterious, beautiful and full of passion. Passion that soon explodes between them.
