He stole her to punish her father…but now he’ll never let her go. Amber Lockhart was raised in silk and safety, far from the shadows her father cast over countless lives—including Cullen's. Scarred, exiled, and consumed by vengeance, Cullen has waited ten long years to destroy the man who betrayed him. But when he finally kidnaps the man’s daughter, he doesn’t expect her to be sweet. Or soft. Or so heartbreakingly innocent. Now she’s locked away in his crumbling mansion, surrounded by forest and guarded by the beast himself. She should be terrified. Instead, she’s curious. Gentle. Unafraid. And when she offers to become his bride to stop the cycle of pain? Cullen takes her. In every way. She thinks she’s taming the monster. But she has no idea how deep his obsession runs. He’ll protect her. Claim her. Put a baby in her and build a world just for her. Because once the beast has his bride, he never lets go. This is a dark, filthy, forced-proximity fantasy with a growling recluse, an innocent captive, and so much heat it might burn your Kindle. No cheating, no cliffhanger—just one possessive monster and the bride he worships.
