I already knew what kind of man Theo Henshaw was. One who wasn't interested in being a father, one who would rather party and drink and whore his way around London than take on his responsibilities. But raising a motherless, grieving three-year old is expensive, and I needed his financial help. That's the least the man could do after all this time of not even a word from him. Only, it turns out my late best friend hasn't been entirely honest with me about Theo's interest in his daughter. Or his knowledge that Pippa even exists. So having given him the shock of his life, Theo and I now need to find a way to work together and do what is best for Pippa. But my preconceived notions about Theo quickly crumbles as I get to know him, and the man behind the public façade is something entirely different. Something I might need and will find it hard to leave behind when it's time for me to move on.

Will she break free or remain trapped in velvet chains? ------------------------------------------------------------------ He settled between my thighs, kissing a line down my stomach, tongue flicking, teasing. He paused, looking up at me with a wicked grin. "God, you're perfect," he said. "And you're gonna let me ruin you, aren't you?" I moaned, already halfway undone. Then his mouth was on me-hot, greedy, devastating. His tongue parted me with sinful precision, slow and thorough like he had all the time in the goddamn world. Each flick, each swirl was calculated, torturously perfect, like he'd studied exactly how to undo me. He groaned into me, the vibration sending shockwaves through my core. One strong hand gripped my thigh, fingers digging in possessively as I writhed beneath him, helpless against the onslaught. "Fuck, Mara," he murmured against me, his voice low and reverent, like prayer wrapped in filth. "You taste like heaven and sin. So fucking sweet. So wet for me." I whimpered, hips lifting involuntarily, chasing his mouth. "That's it, baby," he growled, licking a slow, deliberate stripe up my slit. "Grind on my face. Show me how bad you want it."
