About this book

Summary

I OWN EVERY BREATH SHE TAKES.I am the Duke of Strathmore. My word is law. My blood is royal. I returned to my ancestral seat expecting boredom. Instead, I found her. Avery. A common scullery maid hidden beneath layers of soot and coarse wool. She trembled at my shadow. Her fear tasted like the finest wine. I plucked her from the kitchens and brought her into my private world.The household whispers of scandal. My peers warn of ruin. I do not care for their rules. I moved her into my secluded wing. I locked the doors. I forced her to serve me. I watched her struggle against the tight laces of her corset. She is a creature of pure innocence. I am a man of dark appetites. I will mold her. I will teach her the weight of my hand and the depth of my desire.Cassian Ross thinks he can take what is mine. He is a wolf at my gates. He sees her as a weakness. He is wrong. She is my obsession. I dressed her in diamonds and silks. I paraded her before the elite. I danced with her while the world burned with envy. I marked her as mine in the shadows of the gallery. Blood and velvet sealed our fate.I will destroy any man who looks at her and keep her bound to me forever.
