"For the first time since we started this, I begin to think ... this doesn't feel like pretend."

“When He Desires” picks up from the end of “When She Loves,” diving into the tumultuous life of Nero De Luca. After the intense events in New York, where Nero saved Cleo Garzolo, his boss’s wife, he is sent away from the city to start anew in Darkwater Hallow. Adopting the alias Rowan Miller, Nero struggles to transition from his old life as a feared enforcer to his new role as a contractor. This internal battle adds a rich layer to his character, making his journey compelling and relatable.


Blake Wolfe is dealing with overwhelming personal struggles. She is still reeling from the death of her mother, grappling with the absence of her brother who didn’t attend the funeral, and recovering from the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend Brett, who cheated on her in the office of the bar where she works. Despite these challenges, Blake remains a resilient and strong-willed woman, determined to leave Darkwater Hallow and start her life anew.


Gabrielle Sands expertly weaves a tale where trust is hard-won, and love is a dangerous game. The plot of “When He Desires” is a masterful blend of suspense and romance. Nero’s move to Darkwater Hallow symbolizes his attempt to leave his old life behind, but his past is never far away. The story intensifies as Nero and Blake’s paths cross, leading to a relationship filled with tension and undeniable chemistry. As they navigate their intertwined lives, their relationship evolves from wary allies to passionate lovers, each dealing with their demons.
