Author’s Note

The Maddest Obsession spans seven years, from the time Gianna is twenty-
one to twenty-eight. Because of this, I’ve split the book into two parts: the
past and the present. Each chapter of Part One will take you to another year
of Gianna’s life, while Christian’s POV is kept within only a few days.

Part Two takes you to the present. It happens to coincide with The Sweetest
Oblivion’s (MADE #1) storyline. Therefore, if you haven’t read The
Sweetest Oblivion and plan to, I highly recommend you do so first.

“T
ELL ME ONE FACT ABOUT yourself.”
The clock’s ticks and tocks filled the space between us. With warm
colors and a variety of seating, the room was supposed to be comfortable.
Too bad the atmosphere hadn’t gotten the memo; the air was thick and
cloying, as though every lie told here had been trapped for eternity.
My eyes narrowed as Kyle Sheets’ wink from yesterday replayed in my
mind. He’d been through the same process—though, different accusation—
and had somehow bullshitted his way out of having hentai on his work
computer. I was a living, breathing lie, but the idea of being lumped into the
same category as that bastard rubbed me the wrong way. He wore sneakers
with his suits, for fuck’s sake.
Running a thoughtful hand across my jaw, I admitted the truth.
“I have an addictive personality.”
Sasha Taylor Ph.D. couldn’t stop a spark of surprise from lighting in her
eyes, and to hide the human reaction, she dropped her attention to my file
resting on her lap. The blonde’s pantsuit didn’t hold a wrinkle. She’d gone
to Yale and was from old money. The thirty-one-year-old was everything I
looked for in a woman: intelligent, beautiful, classy.
“Alcohol?” she asked.
I gave my head a shake.
“Drugs?”
Might’ve been easier.
“Women?”
Woman.
Another shake, but, this time, I smiled.
