Title: Devil’s Kiss Series
Author: Gemma James
Genre: Dark Erotic Romance
Series Blurb
Nothing is black
and white when everyone has secrets.
Broke and desperate, Kayla Sutton siphons thousands from her employer to pay
for her daughter’s treatment, but when her boss finds out, he demands
repayment…in the form of her submission.

What started as a game turns into so much more when the past returns, testing
the chains that bind Gage and Kayla’s hearts together.

She fell for his wicked ways after he blackmailed her, stayed after he
kidnapped her, went back to him after he almost destroyed them both with his
fury. Now she wants to give him her future.

Willingly.

#1 THE DEVIL’S KISS
“Don’t think of it as blackmail. Think of it as an
alternative to prison. I’d much rather punish you myself.”
Kayla Sutton faces a question no mother wants to face: what would you do to
save your daughter? Broke and desperate, she siphons thousands from her
employer to pay for her daughter’s treatment, but when Gage Channing
discovers her theft, she is shocked to learn that her boss has no intention of
turning her over to the police. Instead he issues an ultimatum—give him
her sexual submission, or go to jail.

Backed into a corner by a man with no shame, Kayla must find the strength to
travel down the path of pain and pleasure. But when her past catches up to
her, prompting a free fall into forbidden territory with a man she once
loved, Kayla realizes nothing is black and white when everyone around her has
secrets.

 

#2 THE DEVIL’S CLAIM
It’s been a year since Kayla Sutton walked away from Gage
Channing. Now he’s back, and so is Ian Kaplan, Kayla’s one-time lover from
her college days. Gage’s jealousy is his worst enemy, and when he thinks
Kayla has chosen Ian, he sets in motion a drastic plan to claim what’s
his. Only Kayla never expects him to infiltrate her heart so effortlessly,
and she never dreamed there would come a day when he wouldn’t want her.
Gage believes she’s committed the ultimate sin, but will she use his mistake to
finally escape the cage of his obsession? Or will she do whatever it takes
to make him see he can entrust his heart to her…just as she’s already lost
the core of her being to him?

 

 

#3 THE DEVIL’S WIFE
No one claims marriage is easy. That is especially true for
Kayla Sutton, because she’s married to a sadist who takes the meaning of
the word “dominance” to new heights.
But Kayla should have known. She fell for his wicked ways after he blackmailed
her, stayed after he kidnapped her, went back to him after he almost
destroyed them both with his unpredictable fury.

Then she married him.

A year has passed since Kayla agreed to love, honor, and obey. Day after day,
she survives his volatile nature. On her knees at his feet, underneath him
between the sheets, bent over the bed to receive the fiery lash of his
belt. But she’s beginning to miss the one thing she promised Gage Channing when
she married him: her freedom.

 

#4 THE DEVIL’S SPAWN
Kayla Sutton has finally submitted.And now that Gage has his wife firmly under his control again, he won’t stop
until he’s extracted every last independent drop from her being.

As each day passes, she learns new ways to accept his dominion. After all, she
has a lot to atone for. Flirting with disaster with her ex-lover turned
brother-in-law might be forgivable, but it’s not so easily forgotten.

And neither are skeletons. If there’s one thing Kayla has learned it’s that
skeletons don’t just come out of the closet; they bust through with the
power of a locomotive, mindless of the destruction they cause.

For the sake of her sanity, Kayla must make a tough decision, even if it means
leaving everything behind.

Author: Amo Jones
Genre: Dark Romance/Thriller
Release Date: November 14, 2017

 

Blurb
Some would say I have a privileged life. Daughter of the current President of the United States, wealthy, famous, and all things that some girls wish they had. 
 
Only I’d dream of having a simple life. A life where I wasn’t marrying the scariest man I have ever met. Well, I thought I had just met him, but it turns out, there’s so much I don’t know about myself. That’s all thanks to a past so twisted, so warped, that no amount of money, or presidential status could wipe it clean. 
 
I’m the rebel child. Or as some may see it, the disappointment. I’ve never cared about expensive wedding gowns, or how much someone paid for a tailored suit. I don’t care if your wedding dress is from Walmart, or if it’s from some fancy, upscale designer line. 
 
So why am I marrying the devil dressed in a thousand-dollar 
suit? 
 
I’m about to find out how I got here. To marrying one of the most powerful men in the country. The road to finding out, though, is paved with darkness, painted with the blood of innocents, and it leads my ass straight to hell. Only this hell is a multi-million-dollar penthouse suite in New York City where Bryant Saint Royal, sits on his throne.

Title: Locked
Author: Clarissa Wild
Genre: Dark Romance
Cover Design: Booming Covers
Release Date: December 4, 2017
Blurb
People say
I’m ferocious. Wild. Dangerous.
They’re
right. That’s why I live on an island alone.
The jungle
is my home. My personal prison.
Until she
arrived.
The moment
her helicopter crashed on my land, everything changed.
She’s the
only survivor … And I’m keeping her locked up in a pit.
It’s been
too long since I last touched a woman, especially one so beautiful.
It makes me
hunger for her.
I want her
… So I’ll keep her …
And I’ll
make her mine.

 

 

Excerpt
I shake my
head and mumble, “I’m sorry.”
He cocks
his head and gets up from the bed slowly, waltzing towards me.
I brace
myself against the wall as he approaches, my head turned to the side. I close
my eyes, waiting for punishment. Will he tie me up again? Lock me up in the
pit? Or worse, hurt me?
But he
doesn’t.
Not any of
that.
Because as
I hold my breath awaiting his move … He kisses me.
Right on my
neck.
My eyes
spring open only to meet his, the same hunger from before flashing in his eyes.
His tongue
darts out to lick his lips.
Another
kiss follows … right below the previous one.
My breath
hitches in my throat as he keeps adding more.
He places a
hand right beside me on the wooden wall, trapping me. His other hand snakes up
my waist. His kisses are equally soft as they are sinful, and I can’t help but
let go in the moment.
He grabs my
breast and squeezes.
I can’t
breathe.
Can’t
fucking breathe.
His next
kiss on my collarbone has my eyes rolling into the back of my head.
With a
quick nudge, the top button of my shirt pops. His finger slips in … more pop …
and down he goes until all of them are opened. He parts it gently as his lips
find mine, and he kisses me hard.
And his
mouth … tastes so damn good.
Feels so good.
The way he
parts my lips and pushes in his tongue without holding back.
I’m
helpless against his assault on my senses, making me delirious with need.
“Jules …”
he murmurs against my lips, softly nibbling them. “I dreamt of you. Naked.”
His hand
wraps around my throat as he presses a demanding kiss on my lips and licks the
roof of my mouth. “Under my palm.” I moan when he finds my nipple and twists
it. “Begging for my cock.”
A wide grin
spreads on his lips. “It wasn’t a dream … was it?”

Excerpt
When she
hands me the flask back, I place it on the table and go back to the box,
fishing out a few pieces of jerky. The moment she sees me holding them, her
face contorts. I still attempt to give it to her. With a smile too.
Still, she
shakes her head at the meat.
What is
wrong with this woman?
Why won’t
she eat?
I even gave
her a smile and everything. What else does she want from me?
Does she
not want to live at all or what?
I push it
against her lips and say, “Eat.”
“No …” she
mumbles, leaning back as far as possible.
I growl,
“Eat.”
Her eyes
dart up to mine, so I gaze at her with equal ferocity. I haven’t met a lot of
women, most of them were just as scared of me as she was, but none of them were
this fiery. This one’s gutsy. I like it.
What I
don’t like is how she keeps refusing to eat. She has to eat something.
Otherwise, she’ll die.
“Eat,” I
say again, losing my patience.
I hold it
up to her mouth and wait until she opens it. She takes the tiniest of tiny
nibbles and chews on it with a face that reminds me of the ones I saw before I
was on this island … back when I still thought I could adapt to their world.
My face
darkens as I watch her chew with reluctance until she swallows and coughs
immediately after.
I nod and
hold out the meat again.
“No, no
more, please,” she says, her voice croaky.
I grunt and
place the jerky on the nightstand beside the bed. Frustrated, I turn around and
leave the hut, slamming the door shut behind me.
I wish I
understood women, but I don’t. I don’t fucking understand any person, at all.
That’s why
I live on my own, and having her here only reminds me of that fact.
Maybe I
should’ve gotten rid of her, after all. It would’ve saved me the trouble of
looking out for her, feeding her, giving her my bed.
Goddammit.
I grasp the
ax from the box outside and begin chopping wood. It’s the only thing I can do
when my mind is going in circles. I need to get this shit off my mind and focus
on work. Things I can actually fix, instead of … women.
Why do
females have to be so complicated?
I gave her
food, and she’s not even thankful.
She won’t
eat, she didn’t thank me for rescuing her, and she keeps running away.
I sigh and
ram the ax into the block, letting out all my anger on the wood.
I refuse to
give up. I made my choice, and I’m sticking with it. I will just have to tame
the girl.
One way or
another, she will eat, and she will adjust. Maybe in time, she’ll learn to
appreciate the island … and maybe even start cooking for me.
Yeah,
that’d be nice.
Her, me, a
spit-roast on the beach, and a fur blanket to cuddle on.
My mouth
waters at the thought.
Maybe this
girl destroyed some of the jungle, but it doesn’t have to all be bad.
She could
be my woman.
That’d
definitely be nice.

LOCKED is a full length standalone, complete at 70000 words. No Cliffhanger. Bonus content included.

“A fast pace story full of adventure and heat.” – Mary’s Goodreads Review

“I ADORED Lock. He is all kinds of wild and savage” – Books N Wine Blog

Exciting, sexy and fun to read.” – Lorrie’s Goodreads Review

A beautiful, compassionate story full of forgiveness.” – Claudia’s Goodreads Review

“It was like a modern day Tarzan, and he was one sexy jungle man!” – Shelli’s Goodreads Review

“He was hot. He was alpha. He was hung like a horse.” – Between The Bookends

He nods again and points at the shower. “Go on then.”

“What? Now?” I say, looking down at myself. I’m still dressed. “I don’t want my clothes to get wet.”

He shrugs. “Then take them off.”

My lips part, but I have no idea how to respond.

All I can do is stare in amazement.

Did he actually just tell me to take off my clothes?

“What?” I repeat, for clarification.

“Take ’em off.”

He’s serious. He’s dead serious, and that stern stare almost makes me want to do it.

But no, my morals have to get in the way again.

“No,” I say, folding my arms. “I’m not going nude …”

He frowns and shrugs again. “Suit yourself.”

He seems genuinely disappointed as he turns back around again. As if he’s upset that I won’t try his makeshift shower even though I want to. I just can’t … not when he’s watching.

“I’ll do it,” I say.

He stops in his tracks and glances over his shoulder, waiting for more.

“But you can’t watch,” I add.

His shoulders rise and fall, and he gives me a quick nod. “I’ll be down there.” He points at the small lake. “If you need me.”

“Yeah …”

Wait, do I need him? No. Maybe.

Fuck. I don’t. I don’t know anything anymore.

I peek at the shower, but my eyes still revert to him. And they stay there … glued … because he’s untying the rope around his waist.

And the banana leaves drop to the ground.

My eyes widen.

Butt naked and in its full glory.

Cheeks squeezed together, thighs muscular and thick.

And an enormous dick dangling between his legs.

I struggle to keep my tongue inside … struggle to even breathe properly.

Until he glances my way.

In shock, I quickly dive behind the wood and grasp my chest. As if that will help me from having a heart attack after being caught staring at a naked man.

And what a man he is … Wow. I still can’t get that image out of my mind, and I don’t even wanna try. All I can do is grin as I start undressing, wishing I wasn’t so easily persuaded to ogle a man because of his dick.

But Jesus Christ … that dick.

Author: A. Zavarelli
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: December 14, 2017 
How far would you go to save someone you love? Would you give up your body? Your mind? Your heart? 
I did and it cost me everything. 
He says he owns me. And it’s true. 
I’ve signed over complete control of my body and life for six months to a man I don’t know. Five years he’s been planning this. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. But my blackmailer serves it up white hot. He’s addicted to my innocence, and I’m addicted to him. 
He likes to hurt me. I love to let him. He brings me to life. He sets me free. He makes my heart feel things it shouldn’t. 
But he also scares me. He holds the fate of my brother’s life in his hands. A life behind bars for crimes I know he didn’t commit. My blackmailer can’t give up his revenge on my family, and I can’t be with him if he doesn’t. But I’m nothing more than a butterfly caught in his net. Do I really have a choice?

“There are lots of twists and turns in this book and I would not expect anything less from this author. She keeps you guessing all the way to the end. All I can say is read the series, you will not be disappointed.” – Hot books and Sassy Girls Book Blog

“I wish there was a way to rate a book higher than 5 stars!! Ashleigh outdid herself with the way she finished this story. It was so well written and the characters felt like real people! This woman has a true talent! Read her books…you will NOT be disappointed!!!” – Goodreads Reviewer

A. Zavarelli is a book junkie, cat lover, and traveler when plagued by intense cases of wanderlust. She likes all things chocolate, books that come with warnings, and putting her characters through hell. 
Her tales have been known to flirt with darkness and sometimes court it unabashedly altogether. Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.
She is slightly obsessed with Theo James and funny animal memes. If you don’t mind these things, you should add her on facebook.

Title: Double Vision
Author: L.M. Halloran
Genre: Dark Romance/Contemporary
Release Date: February 22, 2018
Everything has a price, and the price of truth is steepest of all. 

Eden has an ironclad five-year plan. In three months, she’s saying good riddance to Los Angeles and returning to the Pacific Northwest for medical school. Nothing is going to get in her way.
Nothing… but the impossible.
When she glimpses her doppelgänger at a party, the seemingly accidental meeting turns her life in a direction she never imagined, shredding everything she knows about herself and where she comes from. 
The one constant in her collapsing world is Liam Rourke, a man whose dark desires are matched only by his tenderness. But Liam is more than a master in the bedroom—he’s a master of lies.

Uncovering the truth might cost Eden her life.
Her family.

Her love.
Some things are worth dying for.
There are moments in my life that, when I look back, are mile-high walls between my past and future. Once erected, there’s no longer any question of going back. There is before, and there is after. We all have them. You just have to look hard enough.

These walls cut us off forever from who we thought we were, forcing us to write new stories about our lives. To mold our thoughts in new ways. They alter how we feel in our skin. Change the shape of our smiles. Extend the depths to which we love, grieve, and regret.

The conversation on my parents’ couch before I left for college was one such wall. Another was erected when I met Liam Rourke.

And one more wall, the highest of all—Alexis.

The first time I saw her, I thought I was hallucinating. Karina loved LSD, and that night in the Hollywood Hills when I saw Alexis for the first time, I seriously thought my so-called friend had somehow dosed me with a hallucinogen.
​ ​
But the truth crashed into me. Literally. Five-feet-eight-inches of truth, with eyes my dad calls cracked marbles. Blue and yellow and green with drips of brown.

My eyes.

Seeing my eyes in someone else’s face was weird enough. But then she grabbed my shoulder to steady herself and apologized distractedly for bumping into me. And I saw her lips—rose colored, the top thinner and bowed, the bottom slightly fuller. The tiny cleft in her chin. The shape of her nose, long and just slightly upturned. Her freckles, almost invisible beneath tanned skin and makeup.

She was me.
A bleached, tanned, glamorous me.
In that moment, a wall—miles upon miles upon miles high—shot up between my past and my future.

Everything changed.
​L.M. Halloran is an emotional delinquent and glutton for angst who gleefully takes her characters to hell and back. ​When she’s not reading or writing, the author enjoys walking barefoot, subjecting her husband to questionable recipes, and chasing her spirited toddler. She’s a rabid fan of coffee, moon-​gazing, and small dogs that resemble Ewoks. Home is San Diego, CA, but her heart lives in Portland.

Title: Midnight Hunter
Author: Brianna Hale
Genre: Dark Historical Romance
Cover Design: Brianna Hale
Release Date: February 7, 2018
Blurb
He’s hunting me, and there’s nowhere to run.
East Berlin, 1963.
I thought I understood the consequences of trying to flee to the West. Death.
Imprisonment without trial. Instead I’m being hunted by the most dangerous man
in the city, secret police officer Reinhardt Volker.
Now I’m his prize,
no longer a traitorous factory girl but his elegant and pampered secretary. He
wants to possess me, body, soul – and heart. I’ll do anything to get away from
him, but first that means getting closer.
I want to feel only
hatred for my captor but beneath his uniform I discover a man with a past as
scarred as Berlin’s.
And if I don’t
escape him soon it will be too late.

 

Excerpt
‘No. I will
not let you go.’ His mouth is close to my ear and he doesn’t need to speak
above a harsh, sinister whisper. ‘You don’t need reminders of your old life as
you are never going back. Do you understand? This is your life now. You’re
mine.’
Hearing him
lay it out so coldly and brutally takes my breath away. I wish his housekeeper
and secretary could see him now. They haven’t felt him ruthlessly hunt them
down, catch them, possess them. Take sadistic pleasure in trapping them, body
and soul. ‘You can’t make me forget who I am. I’ll always remember, and I’ll
always hate you for what you’ve done.’
‘Oh?’
There’s so much scorn and amusement in that one brief question. His breath is
warm against my ear and I feel him looking down at me, enjoying that he has me
his mercy. He plants a slow, tender kiss on the side of my neck and I feel my
pulse thundering beneath his lips. It’s a kiss that belies the cold cruelty of
his words and the steel of his embrace. It’s the kiss of a lover, soft and sensuous,
and something clenches low in my belly in response.
I expected
cruelty, and armed myself against brutality, but I wasn’t prepared for this. I
wasn’t prepared for him to be gentle and I don’t know how to fight it. He
shifts his arms, one hand moving to caress my throat and I draw in a soft
breath of surprise and need. He feels it, and his lips move up to my jaw,
trailing burning kisses.
No,
please, I don’t want this. 
He can’t strip me of my will to resist him along with everything else. I
will garb myself in hatred for him. I will steep my body in antipathy and rage.
Even so, it takes every ounce of strength I have to speak. ‘I’ll never be
yours.’
But it
comes out as a breathy whisper, not the defiant shout I wanted it to be.
His lips
curve into a smile against my throat. ‘Oh, Liebling. Yes, you will.
I have not even begun to try and you are already giving in.’
Author Bio

writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning

that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures

Cilla


The Beast
had Belle.
Killian
Black has me.
How I got
here doesn’t matter, even though he says it does. Says it was my choice. He
doesn’t get it, though. It wasn’t ever a choice for me.
And now,
he’s changing the rules.
The
agreement was one month. For thirty days, I’d be his. He’s no longer satisfied
with my body alone, though. He wants my soul, too. Wants every part of me. And
even though I can pretend I’m safe when I lie beneath him, this man does
something to me. Something wicked.
A thing

Cilla made

See, Cilla

Something bad. It damaged her.

not a hero she seeks. It’s an avenging angel. A dark knight. That, I can do.
I’ll slay her dragons, but it’ll cost her, because in return, I want
everything. And I’ll take it.
She’s mine.
Author’s

Excerpt
Prologue 1
Cilla
He’s watching me.
I know he is. He has cameras everywhere. Why wouldn’t he have one here? In
this, the “special” room? He told me he likes to keep an eye on his things. And
that’s what I am. A thing. A possession.
His.
Fucking his.
And today I
fucked up.
Today he’ll take
it out of my skin.
I shudder with
the thought. With the knowledge of what I know is coming.
I’ll fight him. I
wonder if he expects me to. Wants me to, even. All I know is I can’t submit to
him. I can’t let him break me.
But I am
breaking. Little by little.
I wonder if
that’s why he took me.
This is a game to
him. My life is a game.
I hug my knees to
myself. This room is so cold, unlike the others.
I pull the
blanket up around me, as much for the cold as for protection. It’s not like I
can hide my fear. He knows. He knows the real truth. Knows everything now.
My dress is torn
and I’m barefoot. He took my shoes away when he put me here. I guess the heels
could be used as a weapon. As if I could somehow manage to overpower him.
I try to swallow
but the lump in my throat makes it impossible. I’m scared and I hate it. I
don’t want to admit it. Not even to myself.
Tears wet my eyes
but before they have a chance to fall, I cover them with my hands and rub them
away. I don’t want him to see my weakness. He gets off on it.
I did this. I
pushed him. And I can survive this. I fucking have to.
It’s when I’m
giving myself that ridiculous pep talk that I hear his footfalls in the
hallway. Hear his voice, muffled so I can’t make out what he says. Probably
dismissing Hugo, his fucking henchman. Like he needs one.
Every hair on my
body stands on end when he slides the key into the lock. When he turns it. And
when he pushes the door open, it takes all I have not to crumple. Not to cave.
It takes all I
have to stand and ready myself for battle against this beast of a man.
Prologue 2
Kill
She claims I took
her, but that’s not the whole truth.
I gave her a
choice. She made it.
Someone needed to
be punished. It didn’t need to be her. She chose this. Chose to be here.
Well, okay, not
right here. Not like this. Standing against the far wall, her pretty, jade eyes
wide with fear, the delicate skin around them pink from tears.
She’s scared.
And she should
be.
She knows what’s
coming.
I warned her and
she fucked up.
I take her in,
pretty in pink. Pretty Priscilla. Even with her hair a mess. Her mascara a
black smear across her face. Her dress ruined. She’s scared shitless, but she’s
defiant. I like that about her. Like her fire.
It makes my dick
hard.
I close the door
but don’t bother locking it. No need. She’s not walking out of here tonight.
I’ll be carrying her when I’m through.
When I take a
step, she makes a sound, something like a frightened little rabbit would make
if they could make sound. Her hands are flat against the wall behind her. It’s
like she’s trying to melt into it.
“I guess we were
always going to end up here,” I say.
She has no
response apart from the sudden trembling of her body. She wraps her arms around
herself. I can even hear her teeth chatter. She’s too proud to beg though. Beg
me for mercy. I respect her for that. But I do like the idea of her on her
knees at my feet, clinging to me, pleading with me to spare her this one
thing. 
I slide off my
suit jacket and hang it over the back of the chair. I watch her reflection in
the mirror as I take off one cuff link, then the other, and set them both on
the table. I’m rolling up my sleeves when I return my attention to her. Her
eyes slide to my forearms. My hands.
“I know, Cilla,”
I say.
She looks up at
me.
“I know
everything.”

Excerpt

Chapter One

I stumbled into my bedroom, giggling to myself and shaking
on too-high heels and too much vodka.
A glance in the huge mirror on my wall reminded me of what I mess I was when I
had too much to drink. My silver sequined dress was riding up, revealing a hint
of my ass under the shiny fabric. My hair was wild, the dark brown locks a halo
around my head, and my brown eyes glowed with excitement. At least my makeup
was still in place, the perfect smoky cat-eye enhancing my looks, making me
appear demure yet sexy. I’d perfected the art of it, making sure I always had
someone eager to buy me a drink.
I sank down on my bed and pulled off the murderous black heels that had been
torturing me all night. But it was okay – I’d learned to handle the pain, and
when I was dancing, it never mattered anyway.
I lay back and I stared at my ceiling, letting myself think about what my life
had become, but only for a short minute.
The key was never to focus on it for too long. I had to forget, and drinking,
dancing and partying, was the only way I could do it. If I stopped twirling,
stopped tipping back glass after glass, I risked stopping long enough to think
about what I was doing. And that was the last thing I wanted to do.
I needed to forget about Posy. She was long gone, and there was no bringing her
back.
I pushed myself off the bed shakily, and walked over to my window to let some
fresh air in. There was nothing quite like a nice fall breeze to clear my head,
and God, I needed some fucking clarity.
I opened the blinds and looked outside, the street below me illuminated with
streetlights. It was gone four a.m., and most of the lights in the apartment
building next door were off. I lived in a nice neighborhood of townhouses,
about three apartments per floor and three floors total. It was a nice place to
live, and, of course, I wouldn’t have been able to afford it if it hadn’t been
for my parents’ stack of cash in my bank account.
Being a trust-fund baby definitely had its benefits.
My eyes traveled upwards and focused on the only illuminated apartment across
the street from me. I could see right into their home, but the minimalistic
apartment seemed to be empty, even though it was lit up.
I wobbled on my feet and opened the window wide, enjoying the breeze on my
face, slowly bringing me to my senses once again.
A thumping noise interrupted my reverie, and I looked up again, right into the
apartment opposite mine. Except now, it wasn’t empty anymore.
Now, there was a dark, impossibly tall figure pressing a naked woman against
the window, fucking her savagely, mashing her tits against the window, her
mouth opened in an endless gasp as he took her from behind.
My mouth gaped in surprise, and I moved a little to the side, hiding in the
darkness and watching the show they were putting on with a smirk on my face.
The woman had small but perky tits. Her skin was dark, almost ebony, a sharp
contrast to the pale man standing behind her, towering over her. She was tiny
and curvy, and he was fucking enormous.
He was all toned muscle and dark, slicked back hair. His strong, muscular arm
was wrapped around her neck in a chokehold, strangling the screams right out of
her. And his skin was covered in dark, menacing ink, the black color stark
against his light skin.
I wanted more.
I wanted to keep watching.
I shifted on my feet to get a better view of what was going on before me.
He fucked her like an animal. I could see his hips working, pushing, thrusting
inside her from behind, claiming her petite body and making her mouth open in a
silent scream. He fucked like a beast, and he looked like a monster. I fell in
love with him right then and there.
My fingers shook as I reached for my purse, scrambling to find it on the bed
and trying not to look away from the scene in front of me at the same time. I
wanted to watch. I wanted to see his face when he filled her up. I wanted to
see if he’d pull her hair back like I imagined he would.
I managed to get my phone out of my handbag, bringing it in front of my face
and quickly snapping a picture of them. It was blurry as fuck, but it would
have to do. Suddenly, I felt awake and sober, staring into the cold night
outside and wishing I could swap places with the wild-haired beauty. I wanted
him inside me.
A burst of inexplicable jealousy bubbled lazily in the pit of my stomach, but I
did my best to ignore it. Instead, I kept snapping pictures of them. Of him.
Wishing I could see him better, I moved from behind the curtain a little bit
closer to the window. My breath made foggy circles on the glass and my hands
shook as I dropped my phone and reached under the hem of my dress.
The silver sequins felt cold and exciting on my fingertips, and I touched them
gently before spreading my own trembling legs apart, slowly outlining the wet,
dripping shape of my pussy lips between my thighs.
I was so wet.
In fact, I was fucking leaking all over my panties, the image across the street
making my pussy drool so much I flushed in embarrassment.
But I couldn’t help myself. Couldn’t resist slipping my fingers under the
sodden satin fabric of my panties, outlining my perfectly waxed pussy as I
shivered under my own touch. It felt so strange, voyeuristic, to be watching
them do this only on the other side of the street. And it was horny as hell.
My fingers worked their magic between my legs, slowly teasing my cunt open and
finding my clit. I’d let someone kiss me at the club that night, but I didn’t
bring anyone back with me, which was strange for me. I liked having someone to
go home with. It made me feel wanted.
I remembered his hot, needy lips. He was a nice guy, not one I’d usually go
for, which was probably the reason I hadn’t brought him back home with me. He
had a buzzcut, and his face was clean-shaven too, and I loved the prickly
feeling of his features under my fingertips, and the push of his bulge against
my tummy. But I didn’t let myself have it. I really didn’t do nice guys,
because I wasn’t a very nice girl.
Lips parting in a gasp, I braced myself against the windowsill as my fingers
stroked me towards an orgasm. His hand was squeezing her throat so tightly she
looked like she was out of breath, her chest heaving and her mouth open so
wide.
She was crying.
He was fucking her so hard, so savagely, with so little mercy, that the poor
girl was crying her eyes out, all the while coming all over his dick.
Fuck!
I gasped, my fingers working in fast, messy circles to get myself off. I came
with a desperate cry, my pussy making a mess all over my fingers. I’d always
been such an easy comer, ever since I learned how to get off by myself.
My eyes felt strained as I looked back up, and then opened as wide as they
possibly could as I stared at them. He was still choking the girl, her eyes
closed and her breathing ragged, but his own gaze was firmly fixed on me.
I panicked. Surely he couldn’t see me – my room was barely illuminated. But I
saw them both so fucking well.
He grinned at me. Two rows of perfectly straight, impossibly white teeth
glaring in the darkness of the night. He ran his free hand through his dark,
slicked back hair, and carelessly scratched at the stubble growing on his chin.
Then, he reached in front and pinched the girl’s nipple so hard she threw her
head back in a scream I couldn’t hear.
He kept staring, and I couldn’t look away and my heart leapt when he knocked on
the window. Two sharp raps, whispering something in his girl’s ear, making her
eyes fly open in panic, glance across the street, and she saw me.
I stared at her. I stared at them both, unable to move, my pussy juices
dribbling down my thighs.
He raised a hand and waved at me, an easy smirk playing on his lips. The devil
waved and nudged the girl he was fucking, motioning for her to do the same
thing. When she shook her head, his hand wrapped tighter around her throat.
And she looked at me sheepishly, and waved, just like he had.
I’d never wanted to be someone else until that moment, when I wished with
absolute desperation that I was the beautiful petite girl next door getting her
pussy slammed by a stranger.
He thrust inside her one last time and my own fingers repeated his motion. His
eyes remained locked on me as he came, the girl crumpling in his arms, only him
holding her up as he spurted inside her. My fingers fell away from my body, my
poor cunt spasming by itself, leaking down my thighs, ruining the sequins of my
dress and covering them in my own pussy juice.
My legs shook and my cunt spasmed as I came again.
I watched him let go of the girl, gently laying her down on the floor. I could
only see her naked back against the glass, her shoulders hunched as she cried
her release out, her whole body shaking with pent-up orgasms.
And then he stepped up to the window, in all his glory. He must’ve been over 6
feet 5. He was fucking enormous, so tall she looked like a child at his feet.
And he was completely naked, save for the condom on his dick.
His fucking cock matched his height, making my mouth water at the sight of it.
He was ripped, muscles everywhere, looking not just like he worked out
regularly but like he made it his mission to keep his body in perfect shape.
His cock was still hard as he took the condom off, discarded it on the floor
and stroked slowly.
He grinned at me, and stroked his cock lazily with one hand as he wrote on the
steamed-up window with the other.
My eyes danced across the words and I stepped forward, letting the light of the
streetlights outside illuminate me. I knew he saw me now, because he jerked his
dick faster, and it made me fucking ecstatic. He liked what he saw. And how
couldn’t he? I was always sure to be groomed to 5 feet and 10 inches of
polished, manicured and slutty perfection.
I followed his fingers writing in the window and lifted my dress up, showing
him my ruined panties.
His eyebrows shot up and he smirked at me, licking his fingers and palming his
shaft with fast, needy motions.
I stared at his words in the window, written clumsily, some of them fucked up
because he’d tried to write their mirror reflection so I could read it.
My pussy tingled at his crudeness.
My heart thumped in anticipation.
And my mind reeled with the possibilities.
I DARE YOU TO GO NEXT.

that’s what I am. A thing. A possession.
His.

And today I

Today he’ll take

I shudder with

I’ll fight him. I
wonder if he expects me to. Wants me to, even. All I know is I can’t submit to
him. I can’t let him break me.
But I am
breaking. Little by little.
I wonder if
that’s why he took me.
This is a game to
him. My life is a game.
I hug my knees to
myself. This room is so cold, unlike the others.
I pull the
blanket up around me, as much for the cold as for protection. It’s not like I
can hide my fear. He knows. He knows the real truth. Knows everything now.
My dress is torn

I try to swallow

Tears wet my eyes
but before they have a chance to fall, I cover them with my hands and rub them

I did this. I

Every hair on my

It takes all I
have to stand and ready myself for battle against this beast of a man.
Prologue 2
Kill
She claims I took
her, but that’s not the whole truth.
I gave her a
choice. She made it.
Someone needed to
be punished. It didn’t need to be her. She chose this. Chose to be here.
Well, okay, not
right here. Not like this. Standing against the far wall, her pretty, jade eyes
wide with fear, the delicate skin around them pink from tears.
She’s scared.
And she should
be.
She knows what’s
coming.
I warned her and
she fucked up.
I take her in,
pretty in pink. Pretty Priscilla. Even with her hair a mess. Her mascara a
black smear across her face. Her dress ruined. She’s scared shitless, but she’s
defiant. I like that about her. Like her fire.
It makes my dick
hard.
I close the door
but don’t bother locking it. No need. She’s not walking out of here tonight.
I’ll be carrying her when I’m through.
When I take a
step, she makes a sound, something like a frightened little rabbit would make
if they could make sound. Her hands are flat against the wall behind her. It’s
like she’s trying to melt into it.
“I guess we were
always going to end up here,” I say.
She has no
response apart from the sudden trembling of her body. She wraps her arms around
herself. I can even hear her teeth chatter. She’s too proud to beg though. Beg
me for mercy. I respect her for that. But I do like the idea of her on her
knees at my feet, clinging to me, pleading with me to spare her this one
thing. 
I slide off my
suit jacket and hang it over the back of the chair. I watch her reflection in
the mirror as I take off one cuff link, then the other, and set them both on
the table. I’m rolling up my sleeves when I return my attention to her. Her
eyes slide to my forearms. My hands.
“I know, Cilla,”
I say.
She looks up at
me.
“I know
everything.”

Ellie
Stevens has lusted over Kayne Roberts since he first walked into the

Praise for the Series
“If
you are a fan of Pepper Winters, Kitty Thomas or CJ Roberts, M. Never is not to
be missed.”
 ~
Alpha Book Club
“I
read Owned, I devoured Claimed and I nearly fried my Kindle reading Ruined. I
could not put the book down, turning the pages so furiously to see what would
happen next in the lives of Ellie and Kayne. Let me just say that M. Never
knows how to write a descriptive love scene. There are so many HOT scenes to
mention, but my favorite involves a foursome ;)”
 ~ Amazon
“If
you are a fan of dirty kink, delicious, dark and dominant heroes and a woman
with enough confidence to know what she wants, then you can’t go wrong with an
M Never book.”
 ~

I’m filthy rich … and ruthless.
I live for the hunt. The chase.
My desires aren’t exactly normal.

 

But neither is she … The girl I bought.
She’s innocent and blind.
Perfect for all my wicked needs.
Perfect to prove just how far I’m willing to go.
But there’s just one problem …
I’m falling for her. Deep. Hard. Fast.
Even though I’m the bad guy. The man who keeps her locked away.
I’ll do anything to make her stay.
One thing’s for sure … She will be mine.

 

 

WARNING: This book contains very disturbing content
that may be offensive to readers.
Excerpt
Her
whispers are like a drug to me.
I can’t
stop listening, can’t stop fucking zoning out completely as she grabs my leg
with those sweet little hands.
Her lips
are so close to mine I can almost taste them.
And I want
to.
So fucking
bad …
I’m
consumed with the thought of taking her, and for a second I’m almost tempted to
do just that.
Grab her by
her waist, tear off her clothes, rip down my zipper, and ram my cock into her
dripping wet pussy.
But I know
it’s all lies.
All lies my
mind spins to make me feel wanted.
To make me
feel good.
Because I’m
not.
I’m far
from it, and she knows it.
When her
fingers graze my dick, I grasp her wrist and stop her.
She’s not
doing this because she wants me just as much.
She’s doing
this because she wants out.
I’m being
used. And I don’t like being used.
“Don’t,” I
hiss, pushing her away.
She cocks
her head and her tongue dips out again to lip those sweet little lips that I
just want to conquer. “Tell me you don’t want this.”
I narrow my
eyes, unable to pull away even though I should.
Fuck.
It’s so
goddamn wrong.
She’s my
prisoner. I shouldn’t want her, and yet I do, and now she knows.
When I
bought her, I never thought I’d succumb to my desires so easily.
Maybe she’s
found my weak spot.
Or maybe
I’m really looking for salvation … and she’s the only one who can give it to
me.
No. I can’t
allow it.
“No,” I
reply, lying through my teeth.
But I have
to make a stand.
Have to
stop this from happening before it’s too late.
“I don’t
believe you,” she says, inching closer again.
I
immediately get off the couch, not giving a shit that my dick is rock hard
because of her.
I won’t let
her find out.

Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.It had been years since I had seen her.

But temptation weakens my resolve.
With the pull of my dark desires…
I know that I can’t hide from my sinful thoughts—and actions—forever.
