Claimed

My mother's death was supposed to be the end of our story. Instead, it was only the beginning. Returning to Virginia is the last thing I want. The woman who spent a lifetime haunting me has left behind more than painful memories-she's left secrets. A sprawling inheritance. A past I never knew existed. And questions no one seems willing to answer. Thankfully, I'm not facing any of it alone. Gabriel Hale is my sanctuary. My Dominant. The one person capable of quieting the chaos in my mind. With him beside me, I've learned that surrender isn't weakness-it's trust. But the deeper we dig into my mother's past, the more impossible the truth becomes. People are lying. Records don't add up. And someone is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the past stays buried. Some inheritances are measured in money. >Perfect for readers who enjoy: - Dark Romance- Established Relationship- Protective Alpha Hero- BDSM Romance- Healthy D/s Dynamics- Praise Kink- Possessive Hero- Family Secrets- Hidden Inheritance- Psychological Suspense- Murder Investigation- Organized Crime- Trauma Healing- Touch Her and Die- Found Family- Happily Ever After
