Caging His Dove: An enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798856226491)

I was his from the moment I said "I do."

With my father owing him over two million dollars, I was offered up as payment. It wasn't a surprise, I always knew I meant little to nothing to the man who gave me life. His fists and misplaced blame for my mother's death ensured that. Without her to reign in his anger, I was alone. There was only so much the two people around me that cared could do to restrict the damage.

So when, rather than part with a single cent, he decided to offer me up as collateral for his own bad decisions, I had no choice but to play my part and marry the devil with the charming face and faded Irish accent.

Killian McCarthy was known throughout Los Angeles. A wealthy business owner to the world, but that's not all he is. He's ruthless, obsessive, and even with the scar that runs along his face, the most handsome man I've ever had the misfortune of meeting.

But as time wears on, I see a different side to the man who would rather kill me than divorce me. I see his need to control above all else, but there's something more beneath the surface. Something that calls to me in the dark, promising to protect me and be the strength I need to get through this life.

He demands respect and submission, in return, I could have a life I never even dreamed of, a life I thought long since forgotten. He gives me hope within the gilded cage I've found myself in.

Until one night, he rips it all away.

One night and he turns the tide, forcing me to become someone new, someone stronger.

And when I personally serve him his divorce papers? The game changes once more.

Killian

She was mine from the second I laid eyes on her. The sheltered Mason family Princess. It was supposed to be an easy marriage, one she'd been trained for her entire life.

But there was always more to Anna than meets the eye.

So innocent at first, making me want to cage my little dove until she willingly accepted flying free would never be an option. While her innocence-or lack thereof-was revealed on our wedding night, I still couldn't let her go. I was drawn to her, needing to possess her in the way she does me.

She says I'm the devil, the villain of her story, and maybe I am, I'm no saint after all. But she changed the game, made me care, earned my trust and broke her promise.

When she reappears, attempting to buy her release from me, I'm forced to show her just how far I'm willing to go in order to recapture my wife.

My perfect little dove.
