Then I saw her. Again.

Katie Bryne had been missing for four years, presumed dead until she was paraded for sale at an auction days after her eighteenth birthday.

Her endeavor to escape caused the bids to come in hard and fast, so the last thing anyone expected was for her to be held captive in a windowless room for an additional four years.

When freedom finally presented itself, it wasn't as either of us expected. I bought her for myself, but after lowering her to her knees, I was once again forced to alter my wants.

A Bobrov heir is more vital than my wish to bed the red hair beauty, so no matter how long I've craved her, I can't touch her.

Until the temptation proves too much...
