1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Five

CARESS OF PLEASURE: She'll agree to help him but who will help her heart? I'd thought that he was mine, the dark, arresting man who commanded not only my body but my heart. Dante had swept into my life, and I'd succumbed to the burn of passion in his arms. I'd believed we had a love that would last forever, but he'd shattered my dreams and broken me into pieces when he'd walked away, taking a piece of my soul with him. Now he has come back seeking my help, and though I try to keep my distance and protect my heart, I cannot deny that the fire between us burns hotter than ever. And I cannot help but fear that this time our passion will reduce us both to ashes. ADORED: A man who gave up on love Mitch Bradford is an intimidating man.

It s easy enough to quell an uprising, but for the first time, Hades is torn between delivering justice or bestowing mercy on the beautiful female who could be his salvation or his undoing.

Until, that is, he abducts the wrong female and his identity is finally exposed. It will take more than the Eternal Guardians, more even than the gods to rein Ari in after everything he s done.
