Cruelest Vow
Tainted Regime Book 1
He was my forbidden fantasy. Now, he’s my greatest enemy.
D’Artangan Conti was born into poverty, a stable boy in my family’s savage regime. I was born into the life of luxury yet tormented by my father’s brutal actions, longing to escape. Our friendship forbidden, the young man with the piercing sapphire eyes and the voice of an angel became my everything.
Until he died in a fiery blaze with his family, an enemy to blame. Or so I was led to believe.
Twenty years later, his sensual music and dark whispers continue to haunt my dreams, marring my success and power. An empty shell, when I meet a handsome stranger with a body built for sin, my soul is finally awakened. Our passion explosive, with every taste of his lips, every possessive touch, and every crack of his thick, leather strap, I’m pulled deeper into a dark and twisted rapture.
Only then did I discover the truth. The boy I’d lost was the man I desired. And he blames me for his horrific loss, determined to destroy my life. But with every tragedy comes riveting truth and burning need.
Now, the man indoctrinated into revenge has only one thing on his mind. Possessing me.
