I am the monarch of
Manhattan’s underworld.
A corrupt king, ruling a
sinful empire.

Nevertheless, I wear it well.
Aislinn Granville is the Crown
Jewel of my empire—my queen.
To my enemies, she’s my
Achilles heel—a perfect pawn.
Without her, I am a wounded
warrior.
A ruthless, relentless beast.
There is nowhere she can be
taken that I won’t find her.
No adversary I won’t crush to
get her back.
Even if I have to burn this
city to the ground.

Excerpt:
My heartbeat is an erratic,
distracting pitter-patter against my ribs as I take in the stark beauty of the
man standing in front of me. He looks like the same man I ran from. Almost.
The same rich black hair and inky
eyelashes. The same strong, shadowed jawline and high, elegant cheekbones. The
same spark of intensity lighting up those dark, dark eyes.
But now there are smudges beneath
them. And faint horizontal lines, like the silvery remnants of a shattered
spider web, crossing his forehead.
Damon is glaring at me like an
adversary he’s torn between spanking or fucking. There is yearning in his gaze,
a faint glimmer of tenderness beneath his infuriated expression.
I like it. A lot.
The panic and fear and pure terror
that filled my veins just a few hours ago hasn’t yet evaporated. Those intense
emotions are still there, like toxins that have yet to be flushed from my
system. I don’t want to be treated with kid gloves. Not by Damon King.
I need his intensity now more than
ever. I am desperate to revel in the raging storm Damon and I create when we’re
together. The kind of storm that deserves a name. Deserves to be written in
history books for its power . . . and for the toll of its destruction.
I want the shocking illumination of
lightning. The ominous energy of thunder.
I want to give and take.
Clash and break.
Writhe and shake.
“Damon.” I say his name like a
warning. I need the savage who claimed me as his own. My savage king.
He presses a firm kiss to my
forehead, his fingers lightly pushing into the hair at the base of my scalp.
“Tell me this,” he says. “Is there any hurt I can’t kiss better?”
The throaty rumble of Damon’s voice
is like a liberal pour of molasses on my frayed nerves. “No.” My nose is flush
with his chest and I breath deep that scent I didn’t think I would ever smell
again. Wood and whiskey and raw masculinity. So damn intoxicating.
He sweeps his tongue along the rim of
my ear. “Is there any hurt I can’t lick better?”
The tension in my shoulders eases as
I flatten my palms against his chest. “No.”
Damon lifts my chin, our eyes locking
on each other. “Is there any hurt I can’t fuck better?”
My cheeks warm as I draw my lower lip
between my teeth. Then I shake my head slowly, “No.”
He smiles that darkly seductive grin
and my stomach flips. “Let’s go take a shower.”
I nod my head eagerly. A long hot
shower sounds perfect. A long hot shower—with my savage king—sounds downright
exquisite. By the time the water is running, my borrowed bathrobe is just a
white smudge of bad memory strewn across the tile floor.
Damon begins unbuttoning his shirt
and I eagerly reach for his belt. When he is as naked as I am, he cups my chin
between his thumb and forefingers and tips it upward. His kiss is hard but not
punishing. The perfect amount of pressure.
I moan low in my throat.
He growls in return. And when we pull
apart, we are wearing matching lust-drunk grins.
“Do you trust me?” he asks.
“I thought you said I shouldn’t trust
anyone who has to ask.”
“I’m asking now.”
The truth falls from my lips. “With
my life.”
