Dirty Secrets

Cold. Dangerous. Always in control.
It's a reputation I worked hard to establish, and it has brought me more wealth, more power, more . . . everything.
As the king, the responsibility for the city's underground weighs heavily on my shoulders. It's been my only focus, my only concern.

Then I met my obsession. Allie Bancroft.
She's unpredictable. Chaos to my order. Light to my darkness. Everything I never knew I'd crave.

I live in a dangerous world, so she thinks I want to lock her away in a gilded cage. But I want to set her free. I want to make her my queen.
As long as she follows my rules.

Whatever it takes, I'll have her at my side.
I'll Tease and tempt her with sweet words.
Fray away at her sanity with secrets.
Dare her to accept my depravity by mixing it with pleasure she's never known.

Once we cross that line, will she be able to handle the depth of my passion? Of my possession?

Either way, she is mine, marked eternally as such, because she has marked me.
