Forfeit

Megan Fires survived Hell once...

She was bought as a child, dressed like a doll, and violated until her spirit splintered. Megan didn't so much escape her nightmare... but attempted to end him brutally.

Four years behind bars was all he got, and when he walks free, she plans to finish what she started.

Until then, she fights the only way she knows how. With bare knuckles in an illegal fighting ring, bleeding out her nightmares one punch at a time. Rage is her fuel. Violence is her meditation and the only person who has ever been able to pull her back from the edge was her lawyer.

Gaylord Archer is her savior, her best friend, the man who taught her how to take pain and turn it into power. The man she trusts with the parts of her no one else sees. He's, her addiction. A sadist in a sharp suit, with sharp mind, and sharper dominance. The man who rebuilt her body, rewired her pain, and taught her how to breathe through the agony. The man who would do anything to keep her sane and safe.

But Megan's world tilts the night she opens her apartment door to a stranger.

He doesn't hesitate.

He wraps a massive hand around her throat and presses a knife to her skin,

and she smiles.

Because she recognizes the darkness pulsing behind his mask.

Because she knows exactly who he is.

Because she's been looking for him.

Baylord Archer is six foot five of violence, hunger, and filthy promise.

A masked legend who fulfills the fantasies that people are too ashamed to whisper.

He was supposed to find someone else. He was supposed to leave.

And the second Megan fights him, truly fights him, something inside him snaps.

When she hits him. He becomes riveted.

When she grinds against him, furious and breathless, he knows he's screwed, because this woman isn't the client.

She is now his obsession.

Bay wants the violence she never learned how to quiet.

Gay wants the broken doll he glued back together.

They are brothers, not by blood, but by a bond forged in their history... and now she wants them both.

With her uncle's release closing in, her past is haunting her.

One man that wants to save her, another who would burn the world for her means only one truth remains...

To claim her future, she must destroy her past and every secret she swore she'd take to her grave. Can she forfeit her past to them, or will she cross the line she will never be able to erase?

Tell me... What would you do to kill your boogieman?
