CEO of Geneva’s most powerful medical empire, my former boss, and the man I always secretly admired, even before everything changed. He wants revenge on Daniel for stealing and discarding his wife. I just want Daniel gone from my mind forever. Mark has become harder over the years, crueler, the kind of man who takes what he wants, including other men’s wives. I know I should stay away. But this weekend, when his voice drops low and he says, “On your knees, baby girl,” every promise I made to myself crumbles. I’m terrified of surrendering again. Terrified of how much I still want him. Yet the way he touches me, protects me, claims me, it isn’t just dominance. It’s something deeper. Something that makes the broken parts of me feel whole. Mark Monroe doesn’t want my submission. He wants to own me. Completely. Mind. Body. Soul. And the most terrifying part? I’m starting to believe I was always meant to be his. BROKEN RULES is a dark, obsessive romance packed with corporate medical intrigue, healing through raw power exchange, and a possessive CEO who’ll burn the world down for what’s his. Spicy. Gritty. Emotionally brutal. HEA guaranteed, but you’ll bleed for it. less
