Blurb: We’re a match made in hell, Stefan and I.
He took me to exact his revenge. I went from being a pawn to my father to being a pawn to Stefan. The only difference is I have a ring the size of a boulder on my finger and a husband I don’t want.
And the hardest part is I thought he was different. I thought I was falling in love.
I guess my father was right. I’m not a very smart girl.
Stefan is a powerful man. He doesn’t play nice, not if you’re his enemy. But I’ve learned one thing about my husband.
He takes care of what’s his.
And I am his.
His enemies have become my enemies, but he’ll never let anyone hurt me. He’s fiercely protective. It’s the predator inside that scares me.
 
 
Excerpt: It’s midnight when we’re back at the house and I carry her to my room. She doesn’t resist when I strip off her clothes, her underthings still damp, and put her in the shower under a flow of hot water. I strip too and step in beside her and there’s no resistance when I kiss her. When I take her in my arms and kiss her as the water washes sea salt from us.
She opens to me and I cup the back of her head. I don’t ever want to stop kissing her. Don’t ever want to stop holding her like this.
When the water begins to cool, I switch off the shower and dry her then myself before lifting her up and carrying her to my bed. I lay her down and lie down beside her, shifting so I’m on top of her but keeping most of my weight on my forearms so I don’t crush her.
I slide one hand down and cup the mound of her breast. I run my fingernail over her nipple, and she moans into my mouth. When I pull away, it’s to look at her.
She licks her lips, reaches up to touch my cheek, slides her hand down to my chest and sets it against my heart.
We don’t talk. We don’t say a single word. Not for a long while. We just kiss and kiss and look at each other. And I can’t get enough of touching her. Tasting her. Can’t get close enough to her.
“Christ, Gabriela,” I start. “I want you.” I roll off her and onto my side to slide my hand down over her belly.
She cups my cheek, touches her mouth to mine. “Kiss me again.”
I do.
   
About the Author: USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance, Natasha Knight specializes in dark, tortured heroes. Happily-Ever-Afters are guaranteed, but she likes to put her characters through hell to get them there. She’s evil like that.
 

Gabriela's attempted escape from Stefan blows up in bullets and disaster.  She is in the water and drowning.  As she is about to pass out, someone grabs her and puts her in a strange boat.  Dizzy and unable to focus, she hears them and realises she is being kidnapped.  As they place a hood over her head, she realises she may be in mortal danger.  Stefan is besides himself.  She has been taken and he has been played for a fool.  He will move heaven and earth to make sure he gets Gabriela back in one piece.

As the story evolves, the reader comes to realise the line between enemies and friends is one that switches back and forth.  Deception, lies, and power seeking individuals all meld to represent a danger to both Gabriela and Stefan.  Is there anyone either one can trust?  This is a power struggle for the inheritance and control the Marchese family enjoys.  Marrying Gabriela no longer provides Stefan the assurance all will be his.

Never a dull moment, this fast paced story will keep you guessing who to trust.  Be ready to be surprised!

I am voluntarily reviewing this book.  Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
