STAKES OF DESIRE:OWNED BY THE DUKE'S ALLY

ANASTASIA BLUES- CONFESSION After I refused my powerful boss's advances, he destroyed my career, my reputation, and my future. Left with nothing, I spent one reckless night with a devastatingly handsome stranger, a night that ended with him branding me as his and vanishing before dawn. I thought it was a shameful mistake, until I discovered he is Dominic Blackwood: billionaire tycoon, ruthless political player, and the most dangerous man in England. Now, as the strategist to a long-lost prince, I must face him again in a glittering world of royal intrigue. He should be my ally, but the electric heat between us threatens to burn every careful plan to ashes. He thinks our night meant nothing. He thinks he can ignore me. But he underestimated the woman I've become. In this high-stakes game for the crown, the greatest threat isn't our enemies... it's the forbidden passion we can't control. The throne isn't the only thing at stake; my heart is too. 18SNLV—This novel features explicit content and deep descriptions of sex and violence. Viewer discretion is advised.
