Crimson Bayou by Sonora Voss

CARMEN:
One little signature and my life as I knew it was over.
I’ve sold my soul to the highest bidder and there’s no turning back now.
I tried to run, but Eamon Hart caught me.
He has me in his chains and he’ll never let me go.
He’s a mercenary, cold, cruel, depraved…
And he’s also the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on.
I should be fighting for my life.
I shouldn’t succumb to his touch.
But I do.
I’ve never wanted something so bad in my entire life.
He’s going to destroy me.
And I don’t know whether he’s my savior or my worst nightmare.

EAMON:
I don’t like pretty little girls. This one in particular needs to learn a lesson.
She’s so naïve, but she should have learned by now that the world is not a kind place.
And I’m going to be the man to teach her.
She’s so small and innocent.
With her tight dancer’s body
And her flawless porcelain skin.
The fire raging within me needs to consume her.
I need to hear her scream my name and I’m going to make her beg for mercy.
She thinks that she can find the good in me, but she’s wrong.
There is none.
I was never expecting her to get under my skin like this.
But here she is.
And now I’m the man tasked with ending her life.
