I want him. And I hate him. I've known him my whole life. He's the boy who loved to torment me, pulling the ends of my braids. But when he catches me on his family's property, He does worse than that. I plan to pay him back for his punishments, but my little prank goes awry. I've made a terrible mistake, angering our family's deadly rivals. My obedience is demanded to make amends. My marriage to my enemy, arranged. I loathe him. And yet... When he bends me to his will... with his harsh ways... I find myself wanting more. I want to be his queen. I want to sit on his dark throne. The man I now call, husband.
