He offered her freedom... but at a price. His name. His ring. His darkness. Morgan Hale thought signing the contract would save her. She never expected it would cost her everything. Now bound to a man as dangerous as he is powerful, Morgan is learning that love isn't always soft. Sometimes it's ruthless. Sometimes it destroys. And sometimes... it demands more than you're willing to give. But Alaric D'Angelis doesn't play by anyone's rules-not even his own. And if she can't survive the shadows of his world, she may not survive him. In this game of power and obsession, nothing comes without a cost.
