Dark Appeal: Bound by Law. Freed by Desire. (The Primal Contract Book 2) Kindle Edition

Forty of the most powerful men in Boston have watched her perform. Every one of them believes he owns a piece of her.They're wrong. She owns them.Veronica Vance is the Queen of the Salon, a secret society where judges kneel, senators confess, and the city's elite surrender to desires they'd never admit in daylight. She has built an empire on whispered sins and velvet rooms. She has learned that the body is a weapon, surrender is strategy, and the woman on her knees can still hold all the power.But someone has been watching.Julian Vane, surveillance architect, has captured every encounter, every confession, every moment Veronica thought was hers alone. He doesn't want to destroy her. He wants something far more dangerous.He wants her to choose him.When a journalist threatens to expose everything, Veronica faces the predator she cannot outrun. Vane offers her a deal: join his network, become the crown jewel of his digital empire, and rule beside him. Refuse, and the footage releases. Her career ends. Her clients are ruined. Everything she built burns.But Veronica Vance doesn't burn. She makes others burn.To destroy the man who would own her, she must walk into the heart of his surveillance kingdom—let him believe she has surrendered, let him watch her perform for an audience of his choosing, let him think he has finally claimed his prize. And while he watches, blinded by his own desire, she will plant the weapon that ends his empire forever.The price of victory: she must give him everything he wants to see.The cost of failure: there won't be anything left to hide.Perfect for readers who crave heroines who weaponize desire instead of apologizing for it, the intoxicating line between surrender and control, power dynamics that play out in bedrooms and boardrooms, scenes where one woman commands an audience, and dark psychology involving dangerous men and the woman who outplays them all.
