MEET THE CHARACTERS

DB

Damien Blackwood

A 33-year-old titan of industry with ice-blue eyes that catalog everything as either useful or expendable. Moving through boardrooms and bedrooms with the same predatory stillness—a man who's never been told no and has forgotten how to hear it. His hands are elegant, always cold, and when they settle on a woman's waist, she feels owned before he says a word.

MB

Melinda Blackwood

Damien's wife, 31, a former socialite whose porcelain beauty now wears the faint cracks of a woman watching her marriage dissolve. Honey-blonde hair always perfectly waved, green eyes that track her husband's gaze to every other woman in the room, jaw tight from years of swallowing what she really wants to say. A boyish figure she has learned to accept she isn't who will make her husband happy. She's learned that fighting him only makes him hunt elsewhere—so she's learning to take what she can get from him.

JV

Jessica Vance

Melinda's 20-year-old sister, a wildfire in a sundress with honey-brown hair she tosses like a challenge. She has the sharp cheekbones of their mother and the bitter knowledge that she's always been second—second daughter, second pretty, second loved. When she looks at Damien, it's not desire in her eyes; it's vengeance dressed up in lingerie, a plan to finally win something her sister had first.

EA

Elena Ashford

Jessica's best friend, 19, with innocent blonde curls and the kind of softness that makes men want to corrupt her. Wide blue eyes that still believe in romance, a body she doesn't know how to wield—hips that curve, large bouncing full breasts she attempts to hide behind modesty, lips that part when she's nervous. She came on this trip to for freedom and found a predator who sees her more clearly than anyone ever has.

SI

Sakura Ito

The deeply submissive Asian executive assitant Melinda hires as a distraction, 23, with ink-black hair that cascades to waist effortlessly and a stillness that comes from within. She's brilliant, fluent in four languages, and wears her obedience like armor—she does exactly what she's told, anticipates needs before they're spoken, and asks for nothing. Damien doesn't distract her. He consumes her.
