Heart of Steel

I'm in love with my best friend's wife.

Cassiopeia McKnight is a goddess. A worthless man has tied this woman down for far too long. A man who doesn't treat her like the queen she is.

I've always been a hungry man. While my hunger for money and power is all a part of my daily grind, my appetite for the one woman I can't have keeps me up night after night. I've been craving Cassie for years. Too bad she went and married the wrong man.

My perpetual appetite for this woman won't allow me to sit idly by anymore while her husband continues to take her for granted. He doesn't deserve her.

She was meant to be mine. I saw her first. And now, I'm taking her back.
