The Devil's Handmaiden

“"Look at me, Rory. You are mine." Dominique's deep baritone echoed as he pulled her closer, his words cutting through her resolve. The sting of his command clashed with the undeniable heat simmering between them, making it impossible for her to ignore the dangerous allure he embodied. Aurora "Rory" Thompson, a quiet and introverted artist, is thrust into a shadowy world when her father's debt sells her into the clutches of Dominique "The Devil" Blackwood, a feared and ruthless mafia kingpin. His empire is as perilous as it is seductive, and Rory quickly learns that survival in Dominique's world demands more than just compliance-it requires trust in the one man she fears most. As Rory and Dominique wrestle with the fiery tension of their volatile relationship, they are besieged by enemies, betrayal, and the ever-present threat of their own families. In a city ruled by power and deception, secrets fester, and trust is a rare commodity. Their love might be their only chance at redemption-or the force that destroys them both. In the ruthless city of San Andreas, where darkness reigns and loyalty is a weapon, will their love emerge from the shadows? Or will Rory's hidden past and the devil's dangerous world consume them entirely?”
