To save my foster father, I have no choice but to climb into my uncle Stephen's bed, becoming his secret lover in the shadows. Everyone in Riverfront knows Stephen as cold, restrained, and untouchable. But I know better than anyone how ruthlessly he takes, controls, and possesses me. Now, he is engaged. Unwilling to be the other woman in his marriage, I try countless times to escape. And every time, Stephen catches me, dragging me back with even more intensity, keeping me locked by his side. When our forbidden relationship is exposed, Stephen finally drops his mask, revealing the obsessive and crazed love he's been hiding all along. He takes me back again, whispering against my ear, his breath hot and possessive: "Life or death, you're mine... always mine."
