From the moment Grim looks at Eve, he knows he wants her. All of his life, he has only known true evil. It was why he was able to rise the ranks and become the man that he is today. No one dared to betray him. If they did, they only knew him to be cruel, a true monster—a bully.

All she did was help a stranger. A man with a flat tire.

One date turned into another, and now, she is married to the love of her life. Only, Grim is not who he says he is.

One year, Eve thought she was married to a respectable business man called Graham. He’s called Grim, and there is nothing good about him. She now knows the truth. He is a dangerous man, and she wants a divorce. The only problem is, she is still in love with him. He is no different from the man she married.

Grim will not let her go without a fight. But while focusing on his wife, an enemy has risen up. When they threaten his wife, there is no holding back. He promised his wife he would protect her. Anyone who threatens her, will be dead.

Will Eve be able to forgive and finally accept who her husband is?

Excerpt:

\n

They had found her once, and she had no doubt unlike the cabin, he had men patrolling the grounds. She wouldn’t be able to make her escape quite so easily.

\n

Moving along the corridor, she headed toward the stairs, and there was no sign of anyone. She knew from experience that the steps didn’t have a single squeak. Most of the house didn’t make a sound when she moved around. The moment she was clear of the stairs, she went to the door, and of course she tried the handle and it was locked.

\n

Gritting her teeth, she spun around and then let out a gasp as Grim was there, an apron covering his clearly expensive suit. She didn’t know why she hadn’t realized the quality of his clothes. He had spent a small fortune on her own clothes. Even though she had taken off in her jeans and ratty old t-shirt that had indeed seen better days. Much better days.

\n

“All the doors are locked. The windows are bolted. Snow is on the ground, and it’s cold out. I have men walking the perimeter and I have cameras everywhere,” Grim said. “You will not get lucky this time.”

\n

She gritted her teeth. “Do you think this is funny?”

\n

“Do I look like I’m laughing?”

\n

She glared at him. “I don’t think this is funny.”

\n

“Neither do I. Do you have any idea what people would do, what my enemies would do to you if they ever got ahold of you?” he asked. He moved toward her, and then blocked her against the door and his rock-hard body.

\n

There was nowhere for her to go. No place to make her escape.

\n

Her mouth went dry, and she licked her lips, trying to calm her racing heart, as well as something else. She felt that tug between her thighs.

\n

There was no way she could be aroused by what he was doing. No way in hell, and yet that was exactly what was happening, which was insane. Eve couldn’t help it. She was attracted to her husband and she still loved him. She still wanted him, and that was her shame. Eve didn’t know how to fight it, or if she even wanted to.

\n

“They’d let me go to the police.”

\n

“You’re a fool if you think that’s what they would do.” He didn’t move his hands away from where they had landed either side of her head.

\n

She lifted her gaze to his and waited.

\n

“They would torture you and use you against me to get what they wanted. They would try to destroy me, and they would do it for fun.” He moved in a little closer. “And you have absolutely no idea what I would do to anyone who tried to hurt you, do you? You don’t know how I would make them suffer.”

\n

She closed her eyes as his face pressed against her neck. It felt so good.

\n

Biting down on her lip, she tried to contain the pleasured moans that were so close. She had always loved it when he devoted time to her neck. The feel of his tongue gliding across the flesh, and then the small bite of pain as he used his teeth. It was enough to drive her insane with need, with longing.

\n

Even now, when she wanted to hate him for all the lies and manipulation, she just couldn’t bring herself to. She was a horrible person.

\n

He let out a groan. It was a deep guttural sound. “I know you, Eve. I know your body, and I am trying to be a good man here. But I know you love it when I touch you. I know you love it when I kiss your neck and even nibble on your pulse, right here.” His teeth grazed that spot and she couldn’t help but moan. “And those sounds. They’re enough to drive a man to distraction, Eve.”

\n

She loved the sounds he made as well, like he couldn’t control himself. Even though he was always able to.

\n

“Tell me to stop, Eve.”

\n

She opened her mouth, about to tell him exactly that, but then nothing came out. Did she want him to stop?

\n

“Fuck, Eve.” He pressed his body against her and she felt the hard ridge of his cock against her stomach. He was so close.

\n

She felt an answering heat between her thighs. She wanted to beg him for more, but even those words failed her.

He rules with an iron fist and although he has many business "interests" that are not all legal he still has rules that all must obey in order to avoid his wrath. His world is dark, filled with evil and definitely not for the faint of heart. So when he meets Eve Donald, an innocent, fifteen years his junior and beautiful inside and out he is shocked that such a person even exists. When Grim meets Eve he is shocked that someone so honest, truly innocent and kind actually exists, she is a precious gift, a light in his darkness and he is determined to keep her all to himself. They are together for a year, lost in love with one another with Eve completely oblivious to her wonderful husband's true life and even name. However once the darkness touches her light Grim shows her and his enemy just how very much he loves his Queen and what a mistake the enemy has made even thinking to touch his woman. Eve belongs to Grim, she is his everything, his whole world and no one can take her away from him. I really enjoyed this romance, filled with action, moments of pure sweetness and absolute, wholehearted love. It was another great standalone to add to Sam Crescent's catalogue of books.
