Fallen Dane

A widow auction dark romance with an OTT possessive billionaire, a heroine who murdered her last husband, a secret society that owns them both, and a love forged in blood and obsession.

DANE
I've wanted Whitney for twenty years. The Ravens told me no, so I watched her marry a man who didn't deserve to breathe the same air.
I waited for the day I could take what's mine. Fifty million dollars at a widow auction. That's what it cost to finally have her.
Now she's my wife. She kneels when I tell her to. She begs when I make her.
But my kitten is lying to me. She's keeping secrets, and someone is pulling her strings.
When I find out who, there won't be enough left of him to bury.

WHITNEY
I poisoned my first husband to save my daughter from being sold to a seventy-year-old asshole.
And I'd do it again without hesitation.
Then Dane Sinclair bid fifty million dollars and made me his.
I wasn't supposed to fall for the man who bought me at auction. I wasn't supposed to crave his hands on my throat or beg for his punishments. But a dead man's secrets followed me into this marriage.
Now I'm being blackmailed into betraying the only man who's ever made me feel alive.
And if Dane finds out what I've done, even a man who loves violence might not forgive me.
He thinks I'm his good girl. He has no idea what I'm capable of.
