Publisher's Synopsis
"My heart is yours for as long as you'll have it. My sword is yours for as long as you shall need it. My soul is yours for as long as I command it." - Victor
"It doesn't matter what you think of me. Whether you love me, hate me, or ignore me. My desire for you will never end." - Benjamin
Beatrice never expected to wake up in captivity, held by a man who sees her as both a prize and a pawn in a twisted game of revenge. Benjamin, her captor, is ruthless, calculating-and utterly obsessed. Fueled by years of hatred and deception, he believes taking Beatrice will bring him justice for his mother and sister's deaths. But from the moment he lays eyes on her, his carefully constructed plans begin to fracture.
She fights him at every turn, refusing to break, yet something dark and undeniable ignites between them. The line between captor and captive blurs as Benjamin's dangerous desire twists into something more-a hunger he can't control. And as much as she wants to deny it, Beatrice feels it too.
But in the shadows, a greater monster looms. The true mastermind behind the Ghost Amber betrayal still walks free, manipulating them all. Lies run deep, and the truth may be more devastating than either of them imagined.
In a world of violence, deception, and power plays, love wasn't supposed to be part of the equation. Yet as Beatrice and Benjamin spiral deeper into each other's arms, they must decide-will their passion be their salvation or their destruction?
"A Mercenary's Prize" by N. J. Estruch is a dark, twisted romance where love and obsession wage war, and the only certainty is that no one escapes unscathed.
