Belonging to You
āSomeone will hear,ā I whispered, the words breaking into a tremor.
His family and the entire Castillo group were gathered just down the hall.
Smack.
My gasp tangled in my throat.
āNo, they wonāt.ā His palm landed again, sharp and claiming. Smack. āDo you want to know why?ā
All I could manage was a desperate, breathless sound.
āBecause youāll stay quiet.ā His voice dropped, low and dangerous. āWonāt you, Abigail?ā
He rubbed the spot where heād struck, the heat of his touch spreading like fire under my skin. Pins and needles rushed through me, making my breath hitch. I bit down hard on my lip, fighting the sound clawing its way up my throat.
āGood girl.ā His praise slid over me like sin, a command and a reward all at once.

Abigail swore off love the night she caught her boyfriend tangled up with the neighborās daughter. Relationships were nothing but heartbreakāuntil he came along.
One touch from her new employerās grandson, Christian Castillo, awakens a hunger she thought sheād buried forever. She knows itās forbidden. She knows it canāt last. But desire has a way of burning through reason, and with Christian, surrender feels inevitable.
Then her world shatters. Her employer is murdered, and the blame lands squarely on her shoulders. With prison looming and her only lifeline being a man who refuses to forgive her, Abigail is trapped between ruin and a marriage she never chose.
But she wonāt go down quietly. Someone is pulling the strings, and sheās determined to expose the truthāeven if it costs her freedom, her heart, and the man she canāt stop craving.
A story of love, betrayal, and the courage to fight for forgivenessāand for the truth.
