I've always been the good girl. The preacher's daughter. The town's saint. The one who never strays from the rules. Until one reckless night changes everything. Calder Bishop is the monster I've been warned about my entire life. Heir to the most feared family in Black Hollow Creek. Rancher by day, enforcer by night. His touch carries ruin, his name carries blood, and his gaze makes my prayers falter. When I stumble into Bishop business, Calder is left with a choice: end my life or claim it. Killing me would be mercy. Keeping me could start a war. But Calder Bishop has never been a merciful man. And if there's one thing he wants, it's me-all to himself. Now I'm trapped in his world of violence and vengeance, my innocence colliding with his sin. I search for a way out but there is none. Only Calder. It's when he claims me-branding me with his soul-I learn the truth: the only thing more dangerous than a Bishop's wrath . . . is his love.
