The Captain

I came back for the water, not for him.
Charleston was supposed to be temporary.
Do the work. Keep my head down. Leave.

Then Jacob Dane steps into my life.
Quiet. Controlled. Dangerous in a way that feels effortless.
When things go wrong, he’s there first. He doesn’t ask what I need. He tells me what will happen. Protection, whether I want it or not.
I tell myself to steer clear. Finish the job. Go.
But Jacob moves closer. Slow. Certain. Hands on my hips, voice in my ear, making promises no sane woman should believe and backing every one with action.

He doesn’t court. He claims.
He doesn’t negotiate. He decides.
He doesn’t swear I’m safe. He makes me feel it.

I know better than to want what can drown me.
I dive with my eyes open.
The Captain is a dark romance with obsessive, possessive themes. It’s the ninth in the Dominion Hall series but can be read as a standalone.
Warning: This book contains a morally gray antihero, explicit sexual content, and profanity. Recommended for 18+.
