HIM: She showed up in my dark world and pulled me into her light. And then she ran away. For six long years, she kept herself hidden from me. She is my wife. My siren. My everlasting obsession. Did she really think I would just let her go? Nyet. She belongs to me, and now that I have found her, I will make her pay for destroying me.

HER: He's the domineering monster I had to escape. The only place him and me work right is in bed. And now that he's found me, he's determined to take every scrap of dignity I have left.

So why can't I stop wanting him? Needing him? Aching for him?

He's my husband. My keeper. My Russian Beast. And I don't have a chance in the world of getting out of our twisted relationship with my heart intact.
