Midnight Haze. It’s the city’s sexiest, most taboo night club, and my friend has dragged me along for an evening of good, old-fashioned hedonism. But while she’s off scratching an itch, I’m swimming in a sea of masked faces all dying for a taste.

A taste of me. A taste of each other. I am their fresh meat, their prey. And I feel helpless in the tide of their desire.

My one anchor is a stranger I know all too well. A man as forbidden as Eden’s fruit. He calls to me from behind a mask, but I know what lurks behind it: my billionaire stepbrother, Dale.

I can’t resist his call and the sweltering darkness slowly consumes me.

But as dirty as it sounds—all whips and chains and handcuffs—there’s more to it than that. Not only does my stepbrother fulfill my dark, physical desires, he fulfills my emotional needs. He makes me love him. And I know he loves me too.
