Books like Hooked by Emily McIntire

James has one clear goal: demolish the man who has been his sworn enemy for years. When Peter Michaels’ sixteen‑year‑old daughter Wendy visits James’s nightclub, he sees the perfect doorway to exact his revenge. His original plan—seduce her and turn her into a pawn—quickly spirals when his own organization turns against him. Faced with betrayal at home, James must navigate treachery while confronting intense feelings for Wendy. Wendy, who has lived under her wealthy and controlling father’s thumb, is thrust into a world of danger and desire when a night out with friends leads to a passionate, addictive connection with the brooding James. Although she knows he is a force to be reckoned with, Wendy cannot ignore the pull she feels toward him. As their relationship becomes more enthralling, she questions whether she is falling for the man he presents or for the darker persona he hides behind.
