He suddenly lurches forward, grabs my arm, and pushes me up against the wall, one hand holding my wrists above my head. The other pushes my hips against the wall.

“Don’t play me, Phoebe! Not when I’m seriously considering either slitting your throat or ripping your clothes off,” he hisses.

His lips are so close to mine that I feel his breath dance on my skin.

He lets go of me and pushes me into my room.

“Punishment starts tomorrow,” he growls.

Phoebe is not like the other people in her town. She isn’t afraid of the cursed Vengeance MC club president who lurks in the shadows. One night, however, as she sleeps soundlessly in her bed, he kidnaps her. He drags her into a world of secrets and evil, far away from everything she’s ever known. Will President Ash turn Phoebe into a monster just like him? Or will she help him find the light once more?
