Fallen Dane

She killed her last husband. The secrety society king paid fifty million dollars to be the next one.

DANE

Twenty years ago, I cornered Whitney at a secret society gathering and told her every filthy thing I'd do to make her mine. The Council told me I couldn't have her. I've waited all these years to own her.

Now she's on the auction block-a widow with a mouth that makes me want to punish her and a secret she thinks she can keep from me. Fifty million dollars, and she belongs to me. I'll spend every night making her prove it.

But my wife is a liar. And I don't punish liars gently.

WHITNEY

I poisoned my first husband to save my daughter from being sold to a monster. I don't regret a single dose.

Now the man who covered it up is blackmailing me into spying on the husband I was just auctioned off to-the head of enforcement for the most powerful secret society in the world. If Dane finds out what I've done, the Council will have me executed. If I don't cooperate, my daughter pays the price.

I wasn't supposed to want my husband. I wasn't supposed to drop to my knees and beg for more. And I certainly wasn't supposed to fall in love with the one person I'm being forced to destroy.

He says I belong to him.

I've belonged to Dane Sinclair since the night he first put his hand on my throat.
