"This mouth of yours," he murmured behind me, his voice low and rough. "It is going to be the end of you."

His palms skimmed over the backs of my thighs, leaving a trail of fire in their wake.

I tried to push myself up, to turn and face him, but one broad hand settled between my shoulder blades, holding me exactly where he wanted me.

The sheer strength in that touch sent another tremor through me.

"You want to feel what it means to be owned?" His fingers traced the line of the black silk panties I had on.

I whimpered.

"Answer me, Adeline"

"Yes" I squeaked.

"Look at you," he murmured, his voice rough with wonder. "So bold a moment ago."

Heat flooded my cheeks.

Then his palm came down on my bare ass cheek. Hard.

I yelped, my fingers curling into the bedding.

"That," he continued, his hand smoothing over the spot he had just struck, "was for trespassing."

...

Adeline Fountaine has spent years chasing the legendary Devage Jewels, an ancient treasure said to bind doomed lovers across lifetimes.

Stealing them was supposed to be her greatest triumph.

Instead, it lands her in the tent of Nasir Bin Osman.

Nasir claims Adeline is now his prisoner but Adeline has no intention of surrendering to a ruthless king no matter how dangerously seductive his touch may be.

But as war erupts in the desert and secrets about the jewels come to light, resisting Nasir becomes almost impossible.

How do you resist the one man hell bent on saving your life?
