★★★★★ "One of the best dark romances I have read! Brynn Ford has delivered an amazing story of passion and depravity." -Deborah, Amazon Review-
Stella
I'm a proudly independent woman.
I'm tough, single, and I run my own business.
But Murphy stumbled into my tattoo shop one night and knocked me right off my feminist feet.
We had a one-night stand, but it turned into a long-distance affair of the heart.
I'm falling for him.
I'm losing myself for a man I hardly know.
But I want him so much that I overlook all the secrets he's keeping.
Murphy
I'm the born leader of the O'Shea family.
We make a living stealing women and selling them to new masters.
I've acquired my own plaything, but I have little interest in her easy submission.
I want a challenge.
I want a woman who will stand by my side and make me stronger.
I don't want a pet…I want a wife.
I'm meant to have an arranged marriage in five years, but I'm not waiting.
I met my match when I found Stella.
I want her…and I'm going to take her.

Brynn Ford is an author of dark and dirty romance for daring readers. She is a lover of the dark, twisted, and playful and strives to bring the unmentionable aspects of passionate romance into her stories.
Brynn lives in the Midwestern United States with her husband and sons, whom she expects will someday be embarrassed by their mom's books. When she isn't obsessively writing, you may find her binge watching favorite shows while eating far too much junk food or fanatically reading, always seeking to lose herself in the emotional roller coaster of a damn good story.
She is quite the idealist despite her fascination with the wicked and warped aspects of humanity. She’s a firm believer that her characters continue to live on outside the pages in the minds of her readers. Stories don’t just end because there aren’t any more pages to turn.
