Tyrant by Vanessa Waltz

Tyrants don’t ask for second chances.
They seize them.
Billionaire Bryan Knox is a beautiful menace with his hand over Boston’s throat. He’s a tech giant, a real estate magnate, and his rumored connections to the Italian mafia make him the most dangerous man in the city.
And he’s obsessed with me.
I’m just a reporter. I was sent to write a profile on him, but the thirty minute interview revealed a story too dark to tell.
I’m terrified of the Tyrant, but he fascinates me. His inescapable gaze lashes me with heat. Submitting to his domineering presence fulfills my every dark desire…even though I know giving up control is dangerous.
I want nothing to do with him.
Especially after what he did to me.
But I can’t stay away.
Knox has never wanted anyone until me.
He has decided I will be his.
And when the Tyrant wants something, he gets it.

KNOX
I can’t let go of Indie Starling.
They call me the Tyrant. As a rule, I don’t feel. But that changed when a charming reporter girl stole my attention with her beauty and razor-sharp wit.
Now I’m obsessed.
I have plans for us—marriage, children, a life together. But she ruined our happily-ever-after when she refused my advances.
Indie doesn’t understand our connection. She thought she could run to escape the feelings that confuse her, so I let go of the leash to watch where she’d hide.
But the safest place for my future wife is in my arms…in my bed.
I expected her to return to me, not the trouble she’s caused. She’s done something bad. And I’m more frightening than the men chasing her.
I can make it all go away.
But it comes at a cost. A life for a life. My price is her submission – forever and always.
