Book excerpt: For months, I’ve planned my escape from my family and the arranged marriage they’re forcing me into. I’m ready to do anything to escape their shady lives and their manipulation over mine. I didn’t expect what happened. Out on my weekly forced “date” with my husband-to-be, I’m kidnapped from the restroom at the bar. All my careful plotting is turned upside down. And this stranger, my completely obsessive kidnapper, is determined to plunder all my treasures, to own me and to never let me go. With no escape, he ties me to him. This is not beauty and the beast situation, though he’s surely a beast with an amazing library. The more he owns me in every way, the deeper I am thrust into a dark world I need to escape. Except...when he touches me, escape is the last thing I consider. I’m his every day and night.
