Enemy Embrace, Book Two
Desperate for freedom, royal concubine Bryce agrees to pose as a test subject for the infamous Toymaker. She’ll participate in his sexual study, submit her body to whatever form of pleasure his creative mind imagines. With sensual smiles and carnal responses, she’ll carefully earn his trust—then deliver him to her Master.
Slade is determined to save the life of his friend and mentor Matthias, the Toymaker. Matthias has created his most ambitions toy yet, a replicant into which he will transfer his being. Though amazingly lifelike, the replicant will be an emotionless husk, unless they can stimulate his intuitive programming. And what is more stimulating than raw, uninhibited sex?
Passion ignites between Slade and Bryce from the moment their eyes meet. She is supposed to arouse emotions in the replicant, but Slade can’t keep his hands off her. Her silky skin and evocative taste leave him desperate for more. They harbor secrets both dangerous and damning. Will passion or obligation win out in the end?
