After the tragic loss of her husband, Angel Ruth is resolute in her vow to remain loyal and pure until her dying breath. But her world is shattered when the devilishly bold Rakes stakes a claim on her land, seizes her castle, and takes her hostage within her own home.

He demands not just submission but complete possession of her very soul. The audacity is infuriating—and dangerously alluring.

Will Angel Ruth's unyielding loyalty stand firm, or will she find herself falling into the arms of the man who claims to be her new master?
