My father owed a debt he couldn't pay. He gave me to a monster to settle it.
Ryker is the most dangerous man in a city built on secrets. An assassin with a body like a weapon and eyes that see everything... including me.
That's the man who owns me now. He said it as matter-of-factly as if he were telling me it was going to rain.
Except his hand was wrapped around my throat.
But then he gave me a rule that makes no sense for a man like him.
He'll never take me.
If I want him, I have to ask.
I should hate him. I do hate him.
So why do I lie awake at night aching to say please?
It must be a trick. Men like Ryker don't give away power.
They take it.
But he doesn't push. He waits.
And somewhere between fearing the monster who owns me and discovering the man beneath him, I begin to understand the truth...
The safest place in the world is in the hands of the man I was supposed to fear. Because if anyone dares lay a hand on me, he will burn their world down to protect me.
