WARNING: R-18 CONTENT "You want this, don't you?" His voice was deep, commanding. My breath hitched as Lucian's fingers traced slow, teasing circles along my thigh. "Answer me." "I... I do," I whispered, my pulse racing. A dark smirk played on his lips. "Good girl." Heat coiled in my stomach as he backed me against the desk. His touch was possessive, his mouth grazing my skin, sending shivers down my spine. "Take it off." I hesitated...just for a second before obeying, my uniform slipping to the floor. His eyes burned into me and when he finally claimed my lips, I knew I was already his. I never should have fallen for him. When I took this job, I just needed money. The agency sent me to Lucian Vale's mansion, a businessman and mafia boss which I didn't know about, and I became his maid-silent, invisible, just another part of his perfect life. Then I saw the cracks. The fights. The cold silence. The divorce that left him drowning in loneliness. And suddenly, I found myself watching him, caring in ways I never should. So I made him tea. Cleaned his study with extra care. Left small, unnoticed comforts. Until, one day, he noticed me. Now, I'm trapped in something dangerous. Lucian is cold, dominant, and entirely too tempting. Definition of a walking sin. And worse... I don't think I want to escape.

To most people, my husband is Viper. VP of the Devil's Rejects MC, hard, uncompromising, and completely committed to the club and his brothers. But the man I fell in love with was simply Roman, a man who called me Sunshine, and treated me like I was his treasure. By the time I realized the club would always come first, I was in too deep. And when his enemies came for me? He wasn't there to protect me because he was busy protecting her. And that I don't know how to forgive. Now I'm building a new life for myself without Roman. He promises he will give up everything to win me back, but promises are cheap and his aren't worth much. When we discover our enemies are still alive and planning to strike out again, however, I might not have any choice but to put my life in the hands of the man who's already let me down once.
