Power. Money. Status.

All the riches this world has to offer belong to me.
Whatever I want, I get.
And those who stand in my way?
They don’t live long enough to tell their tale.

I’m a villain thriving in darkness, who seeks no redemption.
A hunter who sets his sight on an irresistible prey.

There is a monster reigning inside me who covets to stake his claim and drag her to his cave.
A beautiful siren who ends up captured by a possessive beast and locked in his castle.

She will be my wife.
No matter what I have to do in order to achieve it.

Plot Summary :
Lucian is a man on a mission. A mission to destroy all those who hurt him for years. And now it was his chance for payback. Unfortunately for Esme, she was caught in his web. He needed to capture her and make her his to draw out his enemy and that was what he would do.

He would come at her relentlessly until she would have nowhere to go and then she would finally be his in all the ways that count.

Esme is living a simple life. That is until she meets the most dangerous man ever. Lucian is someone who captivates her. She was never a woman who lost her wits in front of a man but he is the exception to that. He manages to render her speechless every time he meets her. He is absolutely ruthless and she doesn't know why he has set his eyes on her.

Her secrets are the one thing she has always preserved and there was no way she was giving them to him. No matter how Captivating he was.

Overall Opinion :
Ahh, VF Mason never manages to astound me! I love the way the book is written. That element of surprise this author's books have in it is what draws me to them.

Lucian and Esme have a tale full of secrets and heartbreak. Lucian wants to have Esme in every way possible. He is going to give her some time to choose him herself and if she does not then he will have no choice but to take her regardless. Being hated by her is not something he fears and knows that she will always desire him. Even when she sees him at his worst.

This standalone romance is definitely a must read for all the dark captive romance lovers out there. Lucian is literally the best hero and he won my heart so fast by the love he had for Esme! Highly recommended read for all.
