Don’t be afraid of the shadows for it is where our demons come to play. Adrian CEO of Benedict Technologies and a Dominant at Lotus. I possess everything a man could ever want. I have money, power, and a myriad of women at my disposal. Still, I find myself living a life of hell with no peace in sight. Taunted by my own inner demons, I know I deserve the pain. Because beneath the exterior I present to the world - I am a killer. Brynn In the blink of an eye, I went from a carefree single to a grieving sister. Now, I'm grappling with the reality of my new normal. I have a house, a dog, and a career as an administrative assistant. I also have so many unanswered questions about my sister's murder. I'm just trying to get through each day while trying to find out the truth. But in my search, I've discovered a truth about myself. Forget the monsters hiding underneath your bed. You should fear the one cuffing your wrists to the headboard instead.

I’m their wildest dream and worst fucking nightmare rolled into one. Adrian I lived a very disciplined life. One filled with rules and order. Until I met her. Karma. Brynn. The woman I never knew I needed. I broke my number one rule when it came to submissives. And now my life is spiraling out of my control. I wanted Brynn and now I have her. Only I can't keep her. Because she doesn't know who I really am. Or what I have done. Brynn I lived an average life. One filled with trials and challenges. Until I met Him. Erebus. Adrian. The man who helped me find myself. I wasn't looking for anyone, or anything, when he entered my life. Somehow, he firmly entrenched himself there anyway. I wanted Adrian and now I have him. Only, he won't let me in. But, I know who he really is and what he is capable of. The thing about secrets in the dark is that they always come to light. When our separate betrayals are revealed, will they destroy us both?

My salvation was put in my life for retribution and nothing more. Adrian While she’s everything I never wanted, she’s all I ever needed. To save her, I must let her go. It’s the only thing that will set her free. And with my secrets now out in the open, I can hide no longer. Not from the man I truly am. Not from the man I wish I could be. My mask might’ve been removed, but my sins Brynn won’t believe. Because she doesn’t see the monster inside of me. She will, though. Brynn He's all that I wanted, and the very thing I didn't know I needed. To save him, I need to hold on. I know what will bring him back to me. With his perceived secrets out in the open, he no longer needs to hide. He can show the man he truly is, and be the man I know him to be. With the mask finally off, I can see everything, and I accept it all. I know Adrian better than he thinks. I see all, I know all, and I love all. But promises made are promises broken, and to keep mine, I need to set her free. Only there's a bigger danger than even I can see, and it has set its sights on Brynn.
