Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies.

But we share a child, so I thought I could make it work.

I don’t understand Savair’s language, but I think he’s under the impression that I’m his. I am NOT his. I’m a 34-year old divorced scientist with no time for such nonsense. But if he can help me find the others in my group then perhaps I can play at being “his” for a while.

Things like wagering me at a poker game to be the wife and baby momma of a dark-eyed devil.

He's the most dangerous man in Chicago—and I'm his newest obsession. Dark emerald eyes. Black tattoos.

But after he rescues me from a drunken creep, that's exactly where I end up.

After breaking free from the gilded cage of my abusive marriage, I have nothing to my name but a letter from a long-lost relative. Come home, Willow. Your family is waiting for you.

At 46, I went back to college to learn about mythical creatures. I never thought my hot professor would turn me into one.
