His agent's demanding monetary retribution from the woman who's dared to use his image on her covers but he has another form of retribution in mind...and it has nothing to do with money. She was his the moment he touched her. He came out of her dreams to claim her, and she wants every hot, throbbing inch of that delicious man. He wants her, naked, at his mercy. One hot, orgasmic night wasn't nearly enough. She ran...but he'll find her.
