She was the last woman I wanted shackled to my name.
Fiercely independent, she'd clawed her way to running my family's fog-shrouded estate, her sharp wit a blade against any man's touch. But law demanded an heir. Paper forced our vows. And in those oak-paneled halls, where portraits of stern ancestors glared down, I made her mine.
Revulsion twisted her pretty mouth the first time I bent her over the polished dining table. Slick evidence of my release pooled beneath her afterward, a mark no cloth could erase. Yet her body betrayed her, arching into the ravishment. Every thrust blurred her loathing into something hungrier. I saw it in the four-poster bed, candle flames dancing over sweat-glistened skin as she gasped my name. Even in the hay-strewn stables, our bodies clashed furious and unforgiving.
She's the estate manager who craves control like air, scarred by family rifts that left her armored and alone. I should be her ruin - the ruthless claimant stripping her autonomy, demanding unprotected surrender to secure my legacy. But her buried yearning anchors me, cracking my cool facade into obsession. Her defiance lights a fire I can't douse.
One wrong move, and we lose it all: the manor slipping to rivals, her hard-won freedom shattered, my ambition reduced to ash. Her self-respect hangs in the balance with every seed I spill. I've chained her to duty. But can this forced ravishment root in a heart that fights me at every turn?
A full-length breeding forced marriage erotic romance featuring a possessive estate heir and his defiant manager. Includes themes of coerced intimacy and heir-making obsession.
