His Bride By Force
"You think you've seen me unhinged?" I asked with a dark grin. "Tonight... I'm not your husband. I'm the man you betrayed."
I kissed her then, without restraint, and she stifled a moan that threatened to escape her lips.
"You should be scared," I whispered, brushing my fingertips along her spine, slow and teasing, then down over the swell of her ass. My palm lingered, gripping one cheek possessively. "Because you've just given yourself to the devil."
I leaned down, my lips brushing her ear.
"And the devil? He doesn’t believe in mercy."
....
I should have known better than to sign his contract.
My new husband was never meant to be real. He was supposed to be a name on paper, a shield against the vultures circling my late husband's empire. An arrangement with an expiration date.
But Killian Cross doesn't let go.
He's ruthless, obsessive, and dangerously possessive. The kind of man who doesn't just own his empire. He owns everything in his grasp. And now, that includes me.
I thought I could play his game. That I could survive the year, take my freedom, and walk away unscathed.
I was wrong.
Because my contract husband has made one thing clear. I belong to him now.
But what if he's the real enemy hidden in the shadows?
