Bonded: His mate

Trapped in a gilded cage, sold to a ruthless billionaire, Bianca faces a terrifying choice: submit to her captor or fight for a freedom she might never regain. Her parents' desperate gamble has condemned her to a life with the enigmatic Alexander Hamilton, a man who claims 'love at first sight' while holding her captive. Can she escape the clutches of a man who demands her heart, body, and soul, even as her fiancé waits for her return? Or will the monster prove to be a desire she never knew she craved?

The oppressive darkness of the room clung to Bianca, a sudden, unnerving chill after stepping out just moments ago. She grumbled, fumbling fruitlessly with the unresponsive light switch. The only illumination came from the sliver of light beneath the door, a mocking beacon of the outside world.

“Do you want to stay there forever? And where didn’t you think you’re coming from?” A deep, thunderous voice sliced through the silence, making her shiver. Her heart hammered against her ribs. How had he gotten in when she’d locked the door?

Her eyes darted into the gloom, straining to discern the figure sitting next to her bed. She took a shaky breath, forcing a semblance of calm. “What are you doing here?” she asked, trying to conceal her terror.

“Hmm, that didn’t answer my question. Where are you coming from?” The voice threatened again, tightening its grip on her fear. What could she say? The truth, that she had visited another man, was unthinkable.
