Claimed by the Ex-Con

I'll break any man to protect her, but can I keep her safe from the real monster—me? Two damaged souls. Two pure hearts. An obsession that never fades. I was sent to ruin her life. I took one glimpse at her gorgeous hourglass figure, and instead, I want to make her mine. She wants out of this life, and an outlaw with a violent past like mine would only break her. But I can't resist her beauty or her innocence, so I bargained to keep her. When it's time to seal the deal—to collect what's mine—I let her slip away. I think she's lost forever. By sheer luck, I find her. After all these years, she still has the same pull over me. I'm not losing her again. She's part of my past and my present, so running from my past isn't an option. When I look into her eyes, I see my redemption. She's my future and she already owns my heart.
