I thought I knew Lucent, but now I realize I never really did. He's kept so many secrets from me. I fear I might have fallen in love with a monster. Worse yet, I'm afraid I'm becoming one, too... From USA Today Bestselling Author Cerys du Lys ~ I thought I knew Lucent's secrets. I thought I knew about his dark past and forbidden obsessions. He likes control; a lot of it. He enjoys seeing me kneeling on the rug before him while he paces back and forth, planning exactly what he'll do with me. He likes caressing my cheek with soft fingers before squeezing my jaw tight and forcing me look him in the eyes. His seductive smirk when he calls me Miss Tanner while tying me to the bed, reciting everything he's going to do to me in intricate detail, and telling me why he's going to do it, sends shivers through my body. I thought that was it. I thought that was the worst of it, and in time I came to enjoy our sensual games. Lucent likes control, but he loves me. He would never hurt me. Or so I thought. Lucent's dark past contains secrets darker than I ever could have imagined. Unwittingly, I've been lured into his world of sordid conspiracy and corporate scandal. We're running from the law for a crime we didn't commit, but saving ourselves isn't as simple as just telling the truth. I don't know what the truth is anymore. Beneath Lucent's fractured facade, I still feel his absolute attraction towards me. I still want to love him, and I want him to love me, too. I hope I'm making the right choice.
