Trouble. I hit it with my car…
Then I carried her home.
Taking care of her wounds with my own dark depravity. Her scars tell a story, burns, cuts…some old…but there are some wounds that are fresh. So fresh they tell a dangerous, intriguing tale. One I’m captivated to learn.
When she opened her eyes she didn’t recoil like the others. Instead, she told me her name.
Helene…
There is something about her. About the way she meets my stare. She’s not afraid of me.
Some dangerous part of me wants to keep it that way. Just this once...
When Halestrom Hale and the controlling fist clenches around me. I hide her in the only place I know. A place I can control. A place where I can watch her…
The Order.
When my brothers find out, they are furious. Everything we’ve worked for. All the lies we’ve told. All the sick, depraved things we’ve done. Could be all for nothing. If she tells. So all three of us make sure that she doesn’t whisper a thing. We keep her busy.
Every night…and all day long. And pray we make it out alive.
They came....
They took....
Now it’s time to destroy them from the inside out. But first I need to get him back: my son, Colt. To do that, I send the two people I hold close back into The Order.
Colt’s vengeful twin, Carven.
And the woman I’ve fallen for...Vivienne.
As I watch them disappear inside that Hell, I call for war, forcing every powerful man and woman in the city to choose a side. Mine...or Halestrom Hale’s. Only when those I love return from that place, they bring back a look of horror. What Carven tell me sends me reeling. With our backs against the wall, an unexpected ally rears her head: Vivienne’s older sister Helene.
She might be more than my way to king. But she might just give me back my family. Together, we destroy all we can. We came for vengeance...and we won’t stop. Not until we’re together once more.
If there’s anything worth dying for, it’s love.
I’ve been lied to, used, and played. The Order took something from me. My property. Vivienne. And now, she belongs to another man…Macoy Daniels.
The moment he signed that contract, he signed his own death warrant. With the sons, we track her down. Only when we get there, we find something unexpected. Her…savage and full of fury. We don’t call her wildcat for no reason.
I don’t know if I’m saving her from her abductor, or the other way around. All I know is I that want answers…and revenge.
I become the man I fought hard to leave behind. The cold, heartless mercenary. I’ll use, betray, and lie. Anything to keep her safe.
For her, we hunt. For her, we kill. And when we’re forced by Haelstom Hale for a trade, a contract for a life, I do the only thing that savage need to protect her allows....
I send Macoy Daniels back to Haelstom Hale in pieces.
She's one defiant, forbidden, pain in my ass.
One I can't touch.
One I can’t train.
But Vivienne is mine. Body. Soul…
And most importantly, her bloodline.
None of them understand how important she is.
But I know.
My sons and I will protect that information - her - to the death to keep it for ourselves. So, she’ll remain here, under my roof…obeying my rules.
Resisting me at every goddamn opportunity.
Playing her defiant little games with our control.
Until I find my resolve slipping.
I’m cold, calculating.
But I'm a man who finds himself becoming obsessed with her.
And I’m not the only one.
I see the hunger in my son’s eyes.
See the way they react around her.
She won't be wearing red for us…
Because she won't be wearing anything at all.
I’ll take her downstairs…and show her exactly who is in control here.
I’ll show her what it’s like to be owned….
Owned is a dark age gap romance. The men in this story are cold, ruthless and intense and if you are sensitive to particular content make sure you check the warnings inside the book before you begin.
My brother is bleeding.My stepsister is gone.
The ones responsible called themselves family.
By blood, and now by marriage.
I want to destroy them for what they’ve done.
Burn everything they have to the ground.
But first I need to find her.
Ryth.
The pathetic, little mouse that scurried into our lives and made a home.
I can’t forget her, can’t get her out of my head.
She unleashed something dangerous in me.
Something that drove me to ruin her.
And ruined myself in the process.
She was once a game to me…
She still is…only this time it’s for keeps.
