As Cameron Cole's fiercely loyal head of security, my attention is supposed to be razor-sharp, unshakable. I'm trained to anticipate danger, to stand between chaos and the people I'm sworn to protect.
But Rue Asher... she's the exception I never saw coming.
The moment she stepped into this secret world, she fell squarely into my line of fire-in every way that matters. It's more than duty that draws me to her. It's a pull that coils low and tight, a need that goes far deeper than protection.
I crave her trust. Her surrender. Her heart. But desire always demands a price. Against every rule I've lived by, I become her Dom. Her guide. Her temptation. And though Rue aches for what I can give her, she doesn't yet understand the intensity of the play I wield... or how fully I intend to claim her.
I want to take her past her boundaries, past her fears, into places she's only dared imagine.
