Bait for the devil
She was his enemy. Then she was his prisoner. Now, she is his soul-bound prey.
Arielle Monet was raised to be a queen of the French Syndicate—loyal, lethal, and silent. When she is captured by the ruthless "Devil of Marseille," Girard Roux, she prepares to endure hell for her family. She waits for the rescue that will never come.
Then comes the shattering truth: Her father didn't lose her. He sold her.
Marcel Monet used his own daughter as a sacrificial lamb, a distraction to buy his escape while the wolf tore her apart.
But Girard Roux doesn't want her blood. He wants her name, her spirit, and her life. In a move that shocks the underworld, he forces a ring onto her finger and a vow onto her lips. Trapped in his ancestral estate, Arielle expects a marriage of cold revenge. Instead, she finds a world of dark, carnal hunger and a terrifying secret hidden behind Girard’s golden eyes.
He isn't just a Don. He isn't even human.
As the moon rises and the beast within her husband begins to howl, Arielle faces a choice that will stain her soul: Run from the monster who bought her, or surrender to the Alpha who promises to burn the whole world down for her.
One vow will bind them. One truth will break them. One taste will change everything.
