VALERIAI was supposed to be on a date.

Instead, I got dragged into a black SUV by a man with cold eyes, rough hands, and a voice that could make a funeral sound seductive. Wrong place. Wrong time. Wrong girl. But ANGELO doesn't let go of mistakes. He keeps them. Chains them. Studies them like a crime he's proud of committing. And for some twisted reason… I can't stop wanting the man who scares me more than he should.

ANGELO

I don't lose control. I don't apologize. And I sure as hell don't kidnap innocent women. Yet the moment I saw VALERIA, trembling and furious in the dim light of my warehouse, something dark in me sharpened. Wanted. Claimed. She wasn't the one I was supposed to take. But she's the one I can't release. Because now I know her voice, her scent, her fear… and the way her lips part when she thinks I'm about to ruin her. And maybe I am.
