Blurb
My enemyβs daughter β¦ offered to me as payment towards a debt.
Now sheβll become my wife β¦ My pet.
I wasnβt always cold-hearted and vindictive.
She made me that way.
Charlotte Davis β¦ the most beautiful and privileged princess there is.
Iβd kill for her to be mine.
We met by chance at her fatherβs wedding β¦ And then again years later.
But she forgot about me. Ignored me. Enraged me.
Then her father did the unforgivable, and I made it my lifelong goal to ruin him …
By taking her as payment towards a debt he owed.
A debt she will repay by marrying me.
Until death do us part.

Excerpt 1
I can barely breathe.
Not just because my corset is on so tight so they can hoist me into the wedding dress he selected for me β¦ but also because Iβm terrified. Terrified of the sparkling studs on my chest, the high-heeled peep toe pumps on my feet, the tiny silver tiara on my head, and the veil that hangs low over my curled hair.
These past few days have felt like a blur. Iβm shaking as I stare at myself in the mirror, at that woman Iβve been forced to become. A woman whoβs about to marry her biggest enemy. A man who took her as a prize.
Princess β¦ he uses the name as an insult, but that same princess stares right back at me through this mirror. A princess who doesnβt belong in these shoes or these clothes, yet she has no choice in the matter. Sheβs getting married to the devil as payment for her fatherβs debt.
Itβs hard to sigh when you donβt have any room to breathe, and someone is pulling and tugging on your bodice, trying to fit you into the outfit they made from scratch by hand. I donβt blame Jill for trying; she had to make it work within a few days. Thatβs all the time he gave her β¦ all the time he gave me.

Excerpt 2
I reach inside the fridge and take out the cake, placing it on the gray marble counter before searching the drawers for a knife. However, I find that all of them are locked.
βLooking for this?β
The sudden sound of his voice has me jolting up and down and holding in a squeal.
Easton holds up a sharp knife. I donβt know where he got it β¦ or how he even discovered me here in the first place. I immediately check my surroundings; the walls, the door, everything because there must be a camera, right? How else would he have known where I was?
I back away, bumping into the counter with my hips as he approaches me. The sharp blade in his hand gleams, and I swallow hard as Easton comes close with it.
βHungry, huh?β he asks. Cocking his head, he glances at the cake next to me.
I donβt say a word. I donβt want to give him more ammo.
Even though, according to him, Iβm responsible for his pain and suffering β¦ I refuse to let it get to me.
βHere, let me help you,β Easton says, tightening the rope around his robe before leaning in to the cake. He takes a whiff, purposely watching me as my mouth waters and my lips part. God, I wish I could have a taste, but I donβt wanna give him that pleasure.
βYou can have a bite β¦β he muses, sticking the knife inside and cutting a piece in a very violent manner. He grabs a plate and scoots the cake onto it, bringing it up to my face.
βSmells so good, doesnβt it?β he asks, a wicked smile forming on his face. βBut wait β¦β
Right as I lean toward the plate, he pulls it away again and fishes a key from the pocket in his bathrobe. With it, he opens a drawer beside me and takes out a fork, then immediately locks it again. Then he picks up the plate and takes off a piece of cake with the fork, holding it in front of my mouth.
βOpen up,β he muses, sliding it across my lips.
But the possessive look in his eyes tells me this is more than satiating my hunger. This is about power, a game of cat and mouse, so I keep my mouth shut and stare straight ahead. His pitch-black eyes show no mercy.
βOpen your mouth, Charlotte,β he says, this time with a more domineering voice. The way he holds the fork near my mouth, brushing it along my lips feels as if heβs trying to kiss me with an object.
I donβt know if denying him is the smart thing to do here because I donβt want to anger him. What if he lashes out? Then again, I donβt want him to believe Iβll become a meek little lamb. But what harm can a little cake do?
My grumbling stomach has decided for me, so I open my mouth. He slides the fork inside, and his gaze follows my lips as they close, taking the cake in my mouth. His eyes bore into me as I chew on the delicious piece and swallow it down. A satisfying groan leaves his mouth.
I feel naked. Watched. Used.
