He remains standing by the naked woman with his hands shoved into his dress slacks. “I can say without a doubt that Annabelle is one of them.” “It’s too late,” I say, shaking my head. I’ve already made her mine. I’ve branded my name on her ass. I’m too far in with her to toss her to the side. And if he’s right…she’s innocent—just another woman caught up in a life that will destroy her.
