Freakshow

She's a freak. Born with congenital analgesia, Olivia York's inability to feel pain is expected-feeling nothing at all is not. Betrayed and unemployed, Olivia joins Cirque des Curiosités, a traveling circus with heavy emphasis on the strange and exotic. She's hired to sell tickets, but when her unique oddity is discovered, she becomes Orion the ringmaster's assistant in a dangerous performance on the centre stage. He's off limits. Cairo, the son of the Cirque's ringmaster is the one man Olivia needs to stay away from. But his rippling muscles, dark tattoos and sensual lips intoxicate her, and before long she surrenders. When girls start to go missing, her burning need to solve the unfolding mystery leads her to After Dark, the erotic late-night version of the Cirque. Orion is determined to break her bond to Cairo through any means possible, even if it leaves Olivia scarred or dead. In a world built on illusion and deception, Olivia's quest to feel something more than curiosity might come at a very steep price. ** Deals with some themes that some readers may find offensive. This is a standalone dark urban fantasy novel.
