Devotion of the Captor

He went to question a forger. Instead he found the one man he couldn’t bear to release.

Jian Zhou is the man his family calls when they need answers extracted, threats eliminated, or someone dragged in alive.

Whit Ashley has no intention of cooperating quietly.

The document forger fights Jian every step of the way, mouths off through every threat, and responds to Jian’s rough control in ways neither of them expected.

Then Jian discovers Whit has been framed for an attack against Valcere’s most powerful families.

Whit has the evidence that could expose the real enemy. That makes him valuable, and it also makes him a target.

Dominic Caligo orders Jian to keep him close until the threat is eliminated. Whit is furious about losing his freedom, especially to a Zhou, and Jian should resent being forced to babysit the smart-mouthed little menace.

Instead, he can’t keep his hands off him.

Whit refuses to be intimidated by Jian, and he’s more than willing to meet Jian’s darkness with his own. As they race to recover the evidence before their enemies destroy it, the attraction between them becomes harder to keep separate from everything else growing between them.

Somewhere along the way, Jian’s obligation to protect Whit becomes something far more personal. Jian wants Whit alive, in his bed, and within reach.

Whit still wants his freedom. After years of hating the Zhou family, devotion from the man holding him captive can feel dangerously close to another cage.

Jian knows how to threaten, hurt, and protect.

Now he has to prove that loving Whit doesn’t mean possessing him.

Because beneath the captor’s ruthless control is a devotion fierce enough that Jian would destroy anyone who tried to take Whit from him.
