Embracing His Darkness

An Age-Gap Novella

By: Ruby Capri

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

It all happened so fast.

One minute, I’m finishing a long shift in the trauma unit at Metropolitan General, and the next, I’m yanked from the hospital parking lot and forced into the twisted world of crime lord Declan Kane, a man who oozes danger and who everyone fears.

When I come to, I find myself locked away in his luxurious mansion.

What’s my new assignment?

Saving Declan's life—like that’s even on my to-do list.

Every time we lock eyes, it feels like something shifts—it’s intoxicating. But I’m not about to give in and play by his rules. Turning this little arrangement into an intense game of cat and mouse.

As if being insanely attracted to your kidnapper wasn’t messed up enough, learning the reason behind him holding me captive makes me doubt everything I thought I knew.

With the threat on my life looming closer each day, our forced proximity starts to fuel a strange bond. I'm now caught in a seductive whirlwind of power plays and unexpected feelings.

When loyalties start to get tested, the stakes rise higher than ever, and I realize giving in to my desires is as dangerous as this life I've been forced into.

Will I be able to embrace his darkness while staying true to who I am?
