By Sin To Atone

I crossed him. Now he owns me.

I thought blackmailing Ezekiel St. James would be easy.
I was wrong.

The moment his steel-grey eyes locked on mine, the game was over. He knew exactly who I was, what I'd done. And he wasn't letting me walk away.

With his immense wealth and power, he could make me disappear. And when he had me kidnapped, I realized he just might.

But I'm no easy prey. I have a sister to protect. And Ezekiel? He doesn't play fair.

Because when I'm hurt, he doesn't punish me. He takes care of me.
In some twisted way, he thinks I'm his redemption.

I should run. Instead, I accept his protection, knowing his terms mean surrendering everything. My body. My freedom. My heart.

And the most dangerous part? A piece of me wants to belong to him.
