One unexpected perk … or detriment … was that it placed her directly in the sights of her biggest celeb crush. In contrast to finding herself wanting to please her Master at every turn, she also smelled a story, a scoop … and she had every intention of taking advantage to find out exactly what went on inside the walls of Castle Sin. Until she awoke the Beast inside the King of the Castle. “And it’s going to be such a pleasure to make you crawl and beg,” he promised in a deep growl. “As meek as a little kitten.” He was known as Stone Rothman in Hollywood … Stone Sinclair to his family … and Master Eagle to everyone else in Castle Sin A powerful Master, a compassionate man, and a hungry and demanding Beast created the enigma that was Stone Sinclair.

As the king of his castle, it took a lot to crack his armor … but this time she had peeved him off. Shewas one of the trainees who had applied to be a submissive at Castle Sin … and she was a fake.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to both of them, a conspiracy threatened to yank their entire existence apart.
