She didn’t know it yet, but she’d be mine.

From the first moment I saw Shauna all those years ago, I knew that I had to have her.
Sweet and innocent, she was the soft to my hard, the feminine to my masculine.
I was done waiting, done pretending like I had any self-control when it came to her.
I was ready to show Shauna just how possessive she made me.

Maxim. The man I loved. My father’s boss. 
He kept to himself.
Lived out in the middle of nowhere.
Was big and strong and had every womanly part of me coming alive.
And I’d loved him for as long as I could remember.
But I didn’t have to make my move because Maxim was staking his claim … on me.
