Mina Diamond Tears

"I'm your husband now, Janice. Give me your hand, and don't do something stupid," Connor Hughes whispered those words that sent shivers down my spine, and I knew I was doomed for the rest of my life.

Alaric doesn’t share what’s his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
