The Anatomy of Wanting Him Novel Cover

The Anatomy of Wanting Him

I have spent years perfecting restraint. In my clinic, I rebuild faces with surgical precision, correcting the flaws others are too afraid to name. Outside those walls, I am just as meticulous. I am controlled, calculated, and entirely alone. It is exactly how I want it. No one questions me, and no one gets close enough to try. Then came Severino Haynes. He arrived like an infection-sharp, observant, and far too comfortable in spaces where he didn't belong. Nominally, he is my daughter's tutor. In reality, he haunts my home as if he owns it, watching me not as a doctor, but as a subject to be studied. He doesn't offer the hollow admiration I'm used to from men. He provokes. He lingers. He *sees*. Worse, he enjoys the discomfort he creates. There is something ruinous in his stare, a silent acknowledgment of the person I become when the lights are off and the world stops watching. He is reckless where I am restrained; honest where I am a construction. I should have fired him the moment the air changed. I felt the shift-the heavy tension, the deliberate teasing, the way our silences started to feel like an invitation. But I didn't. For the first time in years, someone wasn't afraid of me. I made the mistake of thinking that made him harmless. I was wrong. Severino Haynes didn't enter my home to teach. He came to dismantle everything I've built. And I'm letting him.

Chapter 1

I thought I understood control.

As a dermatologist in Paris, my life is a monument to precision. Every decision is calculated; every emotion is contained. My daughter lives in excess, untouched by consequence, while I exist in the quiet discipline of a reputation that cannot afford to crack.

But discipline is fragile. Especially when temptation learns your name.

Severino Haynes entered my life under the most ordinary pretense: a tutor for my daughter. He was young, struggling, and disarmingly honest. He was also entirely inappropriate. He disrupted the sterile silence of my home with laughter, defiance, and a gaze that lingered a second too long to be accidental.

At first, I mistook him for a distraction. Then, a problem.

I didn't realize he was something far worse: a man with intent.

Behind his careless charm lies a resentment rooted in a past I unknowingly helped destroy. What started as curiosity has devolved into a dangerous game. Boundaries are blurring, roles are collapsing, and I can no longer tell the difference between desire and revenge.

He wants to break me. And I am beginning to want him enough to let him try.

In a city like Paris, beauty is currency and secrets are inevitable. Nothing stays hidden forever—not my double life, and certainly not his true intentions. The cost of wanting Severino isn’t just my reputation. It’s my daughter, my past, and everything I’ve built to survive it.
