Forced by the Underboss
By Samantha B.
When my father's cartel empire explodes in gunfire, I'm yanked from the blood-soaked ruins by Raphael Yamamoto—the half-Japanese underboss who's starred in my nightmares for years. He claims me as his to keep me alive and my family's secrets buried, locking me in his skyline penthouse where every camera and locked door screams that I belong to the man who burned my world down. What starts as his cold, bruising control ignites into raw, addictive hate-sex that leaves me questioning how much I truly despise him... and how badly I crave the one person who both destroys and worships me. With rivals circling and my own family ordering me to betray him from the inside, I'm trapped between deadly pleasure and the last shreds of who I am.
