After months of keeping our secret, Bella and I were sure we’d find a way to stay together and to keep our romance from taking us down. We’d been so careful, taken every measure, every fail-safe option there was to stay under the radar. My cousin, the rightful heir to the Avery fortune, found out anyway. Now? He’s out for blood. I swore I’d keep her safe, promised I’d do whatever it takes to make sure this side of my life never touched her.

One night of passion. It was meant to remain a memory - one unbridled moment of forbidden bliss. However, it quickly transformed into so much more.

I’ve been taught, trained, completely owned by him. Everything between us has changed. But will it be enough for Adam? Will it be enough for me?
