When evil lurks, will love be enough to save them from the dark. LucaThey say life is complicated.

But my life. .

. my life is a raging storm, lying in wait for destruction.

I’m rich with two empires at my command, and any woman I want at my disposal with a snap of my fingers. So what could I possibly have to complain about?Her name is Cecilia Desai, and she is the woman of my dreams and she shines a light on all of my nightmares.

Until she came walking into my new kingdom, I had an arrangement that suited me just fine. It allowed me to keep my company and carry on with the lifestyle I’d become accustomed to.

The moment those long legs came walking into my boardroom, I knew she would be my downfall. Or perhaps she would be my savior.

I battled the burgeoning feelings, but she had me spellbound and I was powerless against her magic. That’s when reality reared its ugly head, reminding me I am not free to be what she needs.

I want everything with her. I want her to be my present, my future…my forever.

So if having her means that I lose all that I fought to keep, so be it. But something evil lurks, threatening to conquer me and destroy her.

It won’t stop until my happily ever after becomes a nightmare come to life. All the riches in the world won’t save us.

So I’m trusting our love to be mighty enough to keep us bound for all eternity. **This book is a stand-alone in the Magnolia Creek series.
