The Arms Dealer’s Kitten

During a luxury cruise, Lydia is drugged, blacks out, and wakes in the hands of Ethan, a notorious arms dealer, the most feared name in the UK, and a whispered warning across Europe. He catches her by the ribbon in her hair and turns her escape into a dead end, yet he never takes her life. While everyone waits for the moment she breaks, Ethan clasps a bracelet around her wrist, a mark she never manages to remove. "They say you'll redeem me," he murmurs, voice dangerously low as he tilts her chin up. "But I only want to lock you away forever." He thinks he's playing a game of conquest. Instead, he's the one who surrenders. Until the day he kneels, blood on his hands, a ring held out like a confession. "Good girl," he breathes. "Call me 'honey.' Stay with me, forever."
