It was New York high society's most anticipated wedding of the season, but I didn't care. The groom's family dared to challenge me, so I humiliated them in the most public way possible.
By claiming his bride for myself.
But I didn't anticipate my reluctant new wife having so much fight and fire in her.
That's why she's pinned against the wall, her ass red from my punishing hand and her arousal dripping down her bare thighs as she comes with my fingers wrapped tightly around her throat.
Tearing off the gilded veneer of elite privilege exposes the sordid scandals, dark secrets, and taboo desires of New York's jaded high society in this dark romance series from best friends and USAT Bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley.
