Forbidden Captive Bride

She was promised to another. He took her anyway.

Now she wakes each morning in his fog-shrouded manor, the weight of his gaze tracking her through every room, the memory of his hands still burning on her skin. She tells herself she hates him. She tells herself she will never yield. But her body knows the truth her lips refuse to speak, and her lord is patient in the way of a man who already owns what others only borrowed.

Their nights begin with slammed doors and whispered curses. They end with silk ropes, with breathless commands rasped against her ear, with the slow breaking of every vow she made to resist him. He knows exactly how to make her beg. She knows exactly which words will make him cruel. Neither stops reaching for the weapon the other provides.

Outside these walls, the world demands her return. Inside them, he has begun to mean something the law cannot touch and reason cannot explain.

This is a full-length dark erotic romance featuring a captive bride, a possessive lord, and the dangerous place where reluctance becomes hunger.
