I\u2019m not a girl who expects to be saved.<\/p>\n
I gave up on fairytales a long time ago.<\/p>\n
So when my knight in shining Armani stalks into town and delivers me from my tragic fate, I\u2019m\u00a0<\/i>grateful.<\/i><\/p>\n
Darius Prince shouldn\u2019t be in the seedy strip club where I\u2019m paying off my mother\u2019s debts, one piece of my soul at a time. And he definitely shouldn\u2019t be the one who claims me in exchange for a suitcase full of trust fund cash and a deal inked in blood.<\/p>\n
His dark eyes shine with a hatred so deadly, I wonder why he wants me at all. Especially when I find out he thinks I\u2019m somehow connected to his twin sister\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n
Darius doesn\u2019t rescue me. Instead, he drags me into his web of tragic secrets and forbidden desires. He binds me so tight, I can\u2019t find my way out of his grasp. Not that it would make a difference. Escaping my fate isn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n
They say every ending is a new beginning. I just didn\u2019t expect my beginning to be so cruel.<\/p>\n
