She didn't know it yet, but she'd be mine.

From the first moment I saw Shauna all those years ago, I knew that I had to have her.Sweet and innocent, she was the soft to my hard, the feminine to my masculine.I was done waiting, done pretending like I had any self-control when it came to her.I was ready to show Shauna just how possessive she made me.

Maxim. The man I loved. My father's boss. He kept to himself.Lived out in the middle of nowhere.Was big and strong and had every womanly part of me coming alive.And I'd loved him for as long as I could remember.But I didn't have to make my move because Maxim was staking his claim … on me.
