He took me captive. Now I own his black heart. Damian Cross, the most feared man at Ashford University, claimed me as his latest sacrifice. There is no escape for a good girl like me. Not from the wealthy heir to Ashford’s most elite secret society–The Four Hundred. "You’re mine now," he vows, his touch searing through every wall I try to build. "And I’ll destroy anyone who dares to touch what belongs to me." I’m a pastor’s daughter who’s spent her life following every rule. Good. Pure. Perfect. He’s the ruthless prince who bends the world to his will. Cruel. Cunning. Dark. I should hate him. But there’s something in the way he watches me—like I’m the only thing holding him together—that shatters every defense I have. When love is born in darkness, it doesn’t just burn. It consumes. He may be a prince, but I have all the power.
