The Devil's Plaything

I think I've made a terrible mistake… The auction was supposed to be simple—thirty days of my life for enough money to save my family. What did I get instead? Eva Novak. An arms dealer. A coldhearted criminal. The most dangerously beautiful woman I've ever seen. She steals me away to a castle that belongs to nightmares, where the villagers in the town below cross themselves when she passes by and whisper warnings about women she's made disappear. Eva's touch makes me forget I should fear her, but she doesn't just want my body.

I told myself I'd never return. But my sister's life is on the line, and Eva Novak knows it. She drags me back into her world with an offer I can't afford to refuse. Forbidden fantasies are waiting in her eyes, in her hands, in the ways she claims me. And she seems to be changing. Softening. Blooming around the thorns. Every wicked promise she whispers leaves me craving the one thing I should fear the most… Belonging to her completely. But loving her doesn't just risk my heart. It risks my family. It risks my life.

She stole my heart. Then my enemies stole her. I'll pay any price to get her back. A queen cannot afford a weakness. And some people think mine has a name. Robin Rivers. The woman I should have let go. The woman I can't live without. My enemies have been watching, waiting for me to slip. They thought she was my soft spot, my liability. But they're wrong. Robin isn't my weakness. She's my strength. And I'll destroy anyone who dares touch her. No one steals from Eva Novak. And they're about to find out just how ruthless love has made me.
