Marco, an enforcer for the brutal Bennett Brothers, couldn’t stop thinking about her. The woman whose life almost ended that night, and would have, if he hadn’t stepped in, and brought her back from the brink. He wasn’t working for the good guys, nor did he claim to be one himself, but he needed to be the one to nurture her, to empower her, and own her. Because he knew that she needed his strength, and his control, to help her regain her own. Lenore prided herself on being tough, and knowing how to defend herself, but she almost gave up that night. The night her best friend tried to rape her. The night she was forced to end a life. It nearly destroyed her. The stranger who picked up the pieces, the man she stupidly pushed away, before she became dependent on him… he just refused to stay away. When he came back, it soon became clear that the only way he’d leave again, is if he takes her with him. Drawn deeper into the twisted world of violence, and danger, and mobsters, will Lenore be able to find her strength again, and if she does, will she be willing to put it use, working for the very people who brought her world crashing down around her? Will Marco manage to take command of Lenore, and bend her to his will, showing her that being owned by him is the best way to be herself again? And, will she be ready for the darkness inside him, and what happens when he gets pushed to the very limit of his control? Beyond that, when they’re suddenly all under threat, from an unknown enemy, who will survive the deadly showdown? This is a dark romance story, featuring content which may not suit all readers, or may be triggering. It is a standalone book, with HEA, and the characters will appear again in a future book, but will not be the focus of that book.
