Hooked

A dark and delectable retelling of the classic story of Peter Pan from internationally acclaimed novelist Emily McIntire.

He wants her more than he wants retribution.

James has only ever had one goal in mind: to eliminate Peter Michaels, his adversary. Peter finds his way inside James's pub when his daughter Wendy, who is twenty years old, walks there. Capture the girl's heart and use her to get retribution. It's the ideal strategy—that is, until James's organization starts to fall apart. His plan for retaliation becomes more hazy as James begins to see Wendy as more than simply a pawn in his scheme and he must suddenly uncover the traitor in his midst.

Wendy's affluent and frigid father has kept her secluded for the majority of her life, but one impulsive night out with friends develops into a passionate and compulsive relationship with the moody and dark James. Despite her awareness of James' danger, Wendy finds it difficult to let go of her feelings for him. She's not sure whether she's falling for the monster known as Hook or the guy known as James, however, as their connection heats up and she finds out more about the world he lives in.

The first full standalone in the Never After Series, a collection of broken fairy tales in which the bad guys live happily ever after, is Hooked, a dark contemporary romance. It is neither fiction, nor is it a faithful recounting. The adult themes and material of Hooked may not be appropriate for all viewers. We recommend the reader use caution.
