Unbridled desire wars with love as a Gryffon brother seeks to protect his heritage in this searing romance from the New York Times–bestselling author.

He wants her. He wants to possess her.
Now.
And her body says yes.
Forever.

Talen knows the Black Gryffons are the last line of defense against the Chimera. He must marry in order to carry on the family legacy. But finding a woman who will be his partner in love and his slave for sex won't be easy. He needs a woman who will submit to him completely, who will let him take her body in any way he wants, in ways she never imagined. With a hard thrust or a slow tease, he will make her burn with desire and beg for erotic ecstasy like she's never known before . . .

Michelle is not that woman. Painfully shy, she can barely look at the dark and handsome man she keeps running into in her office building. But the strange attraction between them keeps pulling her further and further into a world she could never have imagined—and a love she knows she should—but could never—resist . . .

Don't miss the first two books in the Black Gyffon series, Darkest Fire and Darkest Desire.
