Someone tried to take her from me. I took her back. After Daniella Vale's father threatened to ruin my career if I didn't leave town, I thought I'd seen the girl who stole my heart for the last time. But when she needed rescuing, I brought her home with her ass still sore from a reminder that a man like me expects to be obeyed when he gives orders. Because she's always been mine. And this time I'm not letting her go. Publisher's Stone is the third book in the Claimed and Protected series but can be read as a standalone. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.
