XenobiaI hate Adonis Cardelo. He8217s dominating, lethal, and, not to mention, my brother8217s best friend. But those aren8217t the real reasons why the dangerously handsome brute gets under my skin. I hate him because he's back as my personal bodyguard after stealing my heart and disappearing six years ago. Like my shadow, he8217s everywhere. He believes he can protect me from the darkness closing in around me, but the last thing I want is to be trapped under his smoldering, watchful gaze. Between our fiery quarrels and his possessive touch, my resistance is weakening by the day. Submitting to him will ruin me forever, but in his arms might be the only place I8217m truly safe.AdonisXenobia Hawthorne has always been off-limits.I8217ve kept myself away for six years, watching and waiting from a distance. Her scars are a painful reminder of my past failures. They illustrate the wickedness that runs through my veins. Now that I8217m back, I8217ve vowed to keep her safe from the man who almost took everything from me. My father. As the temperature rises, the old flames of desire begin to spark between us. We shouldn8217t cross that line. Not again. But I can8217t help myself. The first time we touch, possession burns a trail straight to my heart. She8217s mine. She always has been. And now, I8217ll do anything to keep her safe, even if I have to pay for it in blood.
