ANASTASIA He’s here. The man whose life I ruined thirteen years ago is here to ruin mine. At the time, Bryce MacElroy was a handsome, brilliant college student with a promising future. Because of me, that future was stripped away. He has since buried the youthful version of himself under a mountain of muscles covered by a custom-made suit as elegant as it is intimidating. Like he could toast with champagne one minute and snap a man’s spine the next. Today, he’s the walking, talking, smoldering version of an avenging god. He's Zeus, primed to smite enemies and ravish maidens in the twenty-first century. He's also my new personal bodyguard. My overbearing and overwhelming bodyguard determined to smite my enemies and ravish…me. It’s an arrangement I enjoy more than I should. BRYCE Whether or not she knows it, she needs me. Whether or not she agrees, she’s mine. Whether or not she wants me to, this time around, I’m damn sure keeping her.
