This doesn't matter. This doesn't matter. This doesn't matter. This doesn't matter. This doesn't matter.

There is only one rule: Nobody tells Luciano Salvatore 'No'. I should have let him break me. If I had, I wouldn't have to live in terror, waiting for the next call. Because there will be a next time. He will hurt me again, and there will be nothing I can do to stop it. The only stingy ray of light at the end of this pitch-black tunnel is Lucas. Though he's pledged his loyalty to Salvatore, he gives me strength. He sees the woman I once was lurking beneath the devastation wreaked upon my body and, little by little, he brings me back to myself. He is my forbidden hope for a future free of this nightmare. Until Salvatore realizes he can use Lucas to destroy the last bit of my resistance. But I have something Salvatore may want even more than my destruction. The life that grows inside of me in exchange for my freedom. For a fresh start with the man I love by my side. It's my only...

I thought I was safe. But now I know, there is nowhere I can run where he won't find me. The man who stalked me, hunted me. The man who conquered my body and stole my heart. The man who did everything in his power to destroy me. The father of my child. Just the sight of him fills me with terror. And a desperate, shameful longing. One look at him and my body aches for his savage touch, for those passion filled nights we shared before I learned who—what—he truly is. I never wanted to be a part of his ruthless world. But that choice is no longer mine to make. Others are coming, men who do not contain even that shred of decency I've glimpsed in Christian. With our daughter's life at stake, I can only pray he finally sees our love for what it truly is: His north star, his light in the darkness, his compass. His absolution. *This book is a re-release....

I can be a good soldier. Or I can claim what is rightfully mine. I have my orders: Get rid of the pretty brunette with the sweet laugh and heart of gold. But as I watch her, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, I'm captivated by her. She is everything I'm not, pure where I'm tarnished, the light to my dark, and I'm suddenly desperate for the sun. Wanting her is a betrayal all of its own. Having her beneath me, sobbing out her pleasure as I claim her in every ruthless, savage way I can imagine, seals my fate. Now, with everything I cherish on the line, there is nowhere she can hide from me. She is mine to possess, my most damning temptation, my one true weakness. And my only hope of redemption. *This book is a re-release. Intended for an 18+ audience*

All my life, I've lived by one simple principle: Nobody tells me "No" and lives. So when a little firecracker of a woman shows up on my front step to read me the riot act about how I run my operation, there's only one way to deal with her. That doesn't mean I can't have some fun, first. Every day, I tease her, driving her mad with pleasure without giving her what she truly wants from me. And every night, I use her sweet body to feed my own depraved desires. All the while, waiting for her surrender, for the moment she will truly be mine. Because now that I've had a taste of her, the price for her defiance is no longer just her life. It is her complete submission, her freedom, her very soul. And I will have my due. *This book is a re-release. Intended for an 18+ audience*
