'She was young, so I let her grow. She was wild, so I let her live her life. She wanted to build a career, so I stayed away.

But the time has come now. Time for her to be tamed, to learn the rules, to be where she belongs. Beside me. Now the time has come for her to be mine.

Because I, Duncan De Sylvano, am ready to hunt for my queen.'

***

Cassandra Brooks has spent most of her life by paying her alcoholic mother's debts, with only one dream that one day she would be away from her disarranged family and become an independent woman. And after years, she was the woman she always wanted to be. Strong, fiery, wild, and a thriving model. The beauty who never fails to get attention.

Coming from an unloved childhood, love was never in her to do list. Until one night, she came face to face with a mysterious Italian. The dark aura of danger around the rugged man got her curious. And when an opportunity to enter the untouchable billionaire's life came, she didn't think twice to grab it. Her plan was simple: get the hunk and then move on.

But little did she know that it was Duncan De Sylvano's empire, and no one entered his territory without his permission. So didn't she.

Now that his prey was right where he wanted her, he was ready to hunt. And he wouldn't stop until she was tamed and... his.

After all, he has waited for years...
