"If you have forgotten, you're fucking mine," I growl my face inches from hers. I expect to see fear flash in those blue eyes or at least a flicker of submission. But Francesca surprises me once again. Her gaze remains steady, unflinching as she looks directly into my eyes. "And if you have forgotten, I never said I was," she retorts, her voice calm and unwavering. For a moment, I'm stunned by her audacity. Then, slowly, a devilish grin spreads across my face. The fire of anger transforms into something darker, more primal. My pet has teeth, and I find myself relishing the challenge. "You're going to regret your words," I promise, my voice low and filled with dark promise. I remove my hand from her neck, noting the slight quickening of her breath as I do so. Without another word, I grab her wrist and start dragging her away from the wall to the perfect place where she would be eating her words soon. *** Francisca Davis is determined to move beyond the recent traumatic events in her life.

As their relationship deepens, Frankie struggles with falling for the enemy, while Rafael is haunted by the ghosts of his past. Can Frankie break free, or will she surrender to the man who could either destroy or complete her?
