Until one of my operatives located Piper Clark in a rundown warehouse, tied up and desperate for a savior, I would have claimed to be a decent man doing bad things for the right reasons. Now I know the truth. I’m a wicked man, doing even worse things, for one reason alone. Giving Piper the world is the only thing I care about anymore, whether she realizes I’m the wizard behind the curtain or not. Before her abduction, Piper was a cam girl, so I know she’s used to being watched. A smart girl. I know she feels my eyes on her now. Feels the way my obsession mounts with every deep inhalation of her meditations. Senses my presence when she wakes from nightmares in the bedroom I arranged for her in the complex one of my shell companies owns. The only real question is, when Piper discovers what a dangerous man she’s driven to madness, will she be smart enough to deny me? Not that it matters. Piper Clark belongs to me. I keep what is mine. These characters appear in the book A Delicate Proposition, the story of how Aullie and Graham broke bad and found the love of a lifetime. This book is a standalone, but does share characters with A Delicate Proposition.
