Between His Claws
READING AGE 18+
She fought, bit, scratched, begged.But he took her anyway.And he never intended to give her back.Alyssa Bennett, a young emergency doctor in Houston, thought she had seen it all: blood, fear, death.Until she tried to save the wrong man. An unconscious patient, riddled with bullets, escorted by shadows with empty eyes.And him.Silas Cruz.The name whispered before you die. The ruthless head of the Mexican Sombra Roja cartel. A man for whom life is only worth something if it bends to his orders.He could have eliminated her.But he found her beautiful in her anger.Intriguing in her rebellion.So he stole her. Ripped her from her life, her country, and locked her away in his domain in the heart of Mexico, a golden mansion with blood-stained walls.Alyssa becomes his captive.But she refuses to bow her head. She struggles, strikes, screams.She hates him. Defies him.And Silas loves it.He loves the war she wages against him.He wants to break her slowly, until she begs him to stay.And beneath the fear, the pain, the poison of a forbidden desire creeps in.Because what he wants isn't just her body.It's her submission.It's her light.It's to make her his… to the point of obsession.But when two beasts tear each other apart, it's never without consequences.And sometimes, it's not the one with the most weapons… who wins.
Unfold

The night is indeed far from over. The silent woman returns, beckoning me to follow. We take other corridors, wider, better lit. The stone walls give way to warm stucco, and dark tapestries depicting desolate landscapes catch the light.
She ushers me into a room that takes my breath away.
