Beautifully Cruel

*King (noun):* *1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy* *2) The most powerful man in a group* *3) Liam Black* He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms. But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero. And—as I’d soon find out—having a king save your life comes with a price. Liam Black wanted something from me in return.
