Blurb Luke Raygan is a man whispered about in fear. His empire was built from the ground up. The type that will chew your bones and spit them out, a predator to predators, the kind of devil that scares the demons away. So when his nonverbal autistic daughter disappears for hours, the last thing he expects is for her to come back entangled with a strange woman-the fiery stranger who slaps him for being an ungrateful father. Rheya has never been afraid of powerful men. She is observant and sees what other people miss, the loneliness and distress behind a little girl’s silence…the cracks beneath a tyrant’s control. And when Kendra clings to her like a safety net, Luke is forced to make an impossible choice: Keep this rebellious woman under his roof…or risk losing the only woman who his daughter trusts. His world is driven by rules, surveillance, control and possession – all of which Rheya defies. But the more Rheya helps Kendra integrate into the world-school,activities, small wins- the more Luke finds himself unraveling. Because the one thing he cannot resist no matter how hard he tries to control…his growing desire for her. And when she decides her work is done and it’s time to move on, Luke will experience a deeper fear than death and bloodshed…losing the only woman to defy him and show him warmth. In his empire of possession, obsession, and danger, the devil may have finally found his biggest weakness.

If you want a second serving, you must pay up first. I'll charge you based on the family rate. It'll be three dollars, thank you very much." My mom sticks out three fingers while smiling at me.

Kahihiyan, malas, pagkakamali, bastarda, palamunin, inggrata. All those words are embedded in my mind, and in my soul. Bawat araw ng buhay ko, wala ni isang sandali na hindi pinaalala sa'kin ng pamilya ko na pagkakamali lang ako. I feel so alone. I feel neglected. Nandidiri ako sa sarili ko sa katotohanang bunga ako ng kasalanan. Pakiramdam ko, hindi ko karapatang mabuhay. But then he came. He made feel that I'm worth it, I'm worth loving. He made me feel beautiful. Just like the pictures he takes...picturesque. And it’s too late before I realize that it was all just for show.

EXCERPT: John freed himself from the security lashes in order to gain more access to Tom. He gripped his friend's waist, squeezing to emphasize how much he was willing to give up for this man.
