The Surrogate's Reckoning
"Do you remember saying my woman is very lucky?"
I nod, unable to find my voice. What is he getting at?
He trails a finger down the side of my face, grips my hair and lands a kiss on my lips. "Good. You are the lucky woman. You'll bear my heir, and we'll be a happy couple. Capisce?"
"No, Evren. I'll give you your child, take my money, and leave. That was and is the plan."
He chuckles. "Will you, baby? Will you?"
Liora Wilder made a deal with the devil. Carry his heir, take the money, and walk away. No attachments. No emotions. No illusions.
But Evren Valesca doesn't play by anyone's rules but his own. He doesn't negotiate. He doesn't let go. And now that he's claimed her, he has no intention of ever setting her free.
Liora refuses to be controlled, but resisting a man like Evren is dangerous. He's ruthless, possessive, and completely unstoppable.
Because nobody says no to a Valesca.
