I tried everything to get his attention, but I invited in a monster.

After facing a threat to my life, I found myself kidnapped and locked away by the skeleton crew’s enforcer. Connor is feared. Respected. And obsessed with me.

He controls everything, right down to my pleasure. His rules dictate what I can and can’t touch. When I can and can’t wear clothes.

What’s strange is how happy I am.

From the outside, my old life appeared perfect, but my father’s iron grip had suffocated me. Now, in the hands of my captor, I can finally breathe.

With the body count racking up in Deadwater, I never want to leave my masked man’s protection. Even if caring for me might cause his downfall.

Without realising it, I’ve become Connor’s claim. But how long can it last when the secrets I keep threaten us both?
