Dark Restraint

He was my savior. My monster. My obsession. My destruction. A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Ariadne and her Minotaur. Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She''s betrayed her father-and his dangerous benefactor-and now she''s left to rely on Olympus'' questionable mercy. But in this city, mercy comes with a price. For Ariadne, that means a sham marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but to agree, even if there''s only one man she''s ever wanted-a man she fears just as much as she desires. The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos''s plans. He was willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word-at the end of their bloody work, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a reward. She''s meant for him, and he intends to have her, no matter the cost. Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur-she''s all too aware of how hot a passion like theirs can burn. Besides, she can never forgive him for the terrible things he''s done, and he can never change. But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn...
