TAINTED DESIRES Novel

Gabriella Thorne is forced into an arranged marriage with Lucian Castiel, a cold and brutal man who always gets what he wants. Determined to corrupt her innocence with his darkness, Lucian refuses to be denied, using menacing threats and physical intimidation to assert his control over her. When Gabriella attempts to resist him, he corners her, gripping her wrists painfully as he demands her submission, accusing her of being willing to run away with another man. He reminds her that she belongs to him as his wife and that she has no right to refuse him. Trapped and terrified, Gabriella desperately searches for any remaining humanity within him while her body shakes with fear. As his icy rage simmers beneath a cruel smirk, she faces the horrifying reality of his psychotic obsession. The question remains whether there is any flicker of light to save her from being forever tainted by his darkness, or if she will be consumed entirely by his relentless control.
