When Meryl Armand fell for her alluring, commanding stepbrother, Andre Dario, she gave him everything. Her body, her heart, and her first time were all his for the taking.
But finding herself pregnant and discovering his engagement to another, she fled. Meryl disappeared into the night, carrying the secret of their child and the pieces of her broken trust.
Now, seven years later, she’s a single mom cleaning hotel rooms, desperate to shield her past—and their son—from the possessive Alpha who ruined her. Then one night, he’s there. More powerful, more commanding, and darker than she ever imagined. And he’s decided she belongs to him again.
This isn’t a negotiation. Andre demands total control. Her life. Her body. Their son. And this time, he isn’t asking for permission.
She escaped him once. But now he knows the truth, and a hidden power is stirring in her own blood. He will destroy anyone who stands in his way, but the woman he’s come to claim is no longer the girl who ran.


The second we crossed the threshold into her bedroom, Meryl launched herself at me without hesitation. Her arms wound around my neck as she pressed her mouth to mine with urgent desperation, kissing me like her life depended on it. For a brief moment, I surrendered to her touch, allowing myself to sink into the warmth of her embrace before gently breaking away and framing her face with my hands.


"Not right now, baby," I murmured, my tone tender yet resolute. "I just want to hold you close tonight. Today has been overwhelming for you."
