I don't use his safeword, until he kidnaps me...

The lure of his dominance is intoxicating. Submitting to him is addictive.

But I've seen the toll a bad boy can take on a woman. One-night of explosive pleasure, and then I flee.

I'm unaware of the deadly power he wields outside the bedroom. The mafia family he belongs to would put my parent's criminal empire to shame. Lurking behind his captivating smile is the seething snarl of an assassin.

I thought I'd escaped.

Instead, I wake up in a room surrounded by one-way mirrors. His triumphant growl twists my soul into knots and makes my heart race with desire. He says he knows what's good for me, but the ropes around my wrist beg to differ.

He promises he'll protect me from the wrath of my family.

All I have to do is vow to be his.

Forever.
