If he'd been wearing a
hat, it would have been in his hands as he entered the Mullardoch Manor proper
by way of the Dungeon Level and Dungeon Fantasy Club. He exited the elevator
which opened into a grand foyer. Spying the pristine marble floors and wood
paneling made some of his tension ease at the familiar sight.
Hunter had prepared
himself for a boatload of groveling. When you pissed off your best friend's
bride-to-be, it came with the territory. He and Zoey—aka Declan McDougal's
fiancée— had gotten off to a rocky start, due to some misinformation of rather
epic proportions that he'd bought courtesy of the media. And yes, after all his
years in Hollywood, he should have known better than to trust a story without
verifying it first before he repeated it. In his defense, the story had
included a data leak that had published his home address for every crazy fan
with a camera to stalk him, which had forced him to put his place on the
market. Normally he loved his fans and enjoyed meeting them, but he also valued
his privacy when he was at home.
For the record, he never
groveled. Quite the opposite, in fact—usually the shoe appeared on the other
foot, and it was, 'Yes, Mr. Clarke,' or 'Right away, Mr. Clarke.' So the fact
that he was here and prepared to make amends already made him uncomfortable
about the upcoming weekend. The last thing he wanted to do was drive a rift
between himself and Declan over a simple misunderstanding. They'd been friends
far too long, and Hunter valued the relationship more than his own
self-righteous pride.
"Declan it's so
wonderful to see you," a feminine voice murmured, sounding like heather
and peat smoke.
That voice brought him
up short.
He silently skidded to a
halt with his rolling suitcase. Memories of that voice, of the way it sounded
in laughter, filled with tears, or as she gasped when she climaxed, hit him
like a tidal wave. It decimated his system. He knew he should do something. As
to what, he wasn't positive. Leave the manor? Make a joke? As confident as he
had always been, that voice and the woman attached to it had been the only
thing to ever truly rattle his cage. If this were a film, the hero would rise
to the challenge and act like it didn't affect him.
But real life had a
funny way of not living up to the idyllic picture presented on the silver
screen.
Hearing that voice made
every nerve ending in Hunter's body stand at attention, his heart thumped madly
in his chest, and he cursed its effect on him.
Waltzing into Mullardoch
Manor—one of his last few, safe bastions on the planet due to the data breach
earlier this fall, a place where he didn't have to mind his every word or
gesture for fear of feeding a media frenzy—only to hear the voice that visited
him in his dreams, made Hunter unable to believe his rotten damn luck. She was
here in Declan's home. Never in a million years would he have thought he'd run
into her here.
He'd avoided parts of
Scotland in the last ten years to ensure they never crossed paths.
Knocked completely off
kilter, he, Hunter Clarke, recently named a Hollywood Icon for his work in
film, stood rooted to the spot and watched the tableau unfold.
"I'm so glad you
could make it, Veronica. It's been far too long." Declan's back was to
him, hiding most of the woman's form with his larger frame. As it was, Hunter
could only see her set of smaller, womanly shaped legs on the other side of
him. He'd always loved her legs; the lithe shape had always fit around his
waist just right.
Christ! Even seeing her
legs made him remember how they had felt wrapped around his waist.
"I wanted to be
here. It's a day for family, and since your mom… well, I don't want to get all
maudlin on ye. She'd be happy for you, though, and I'm here to make sure you
have family to witness it. Thank you for inviting me, cousin."
Cousin?
What the hell? In all
the years Hunter had known Declan, he'd never mentioned her. Hunter knew his
friend had some distant relatives in Scotland that he didn't see all that
often. But Veronica was his cousin? His
Veronica?

Me (The Dungeon Fantasy Club, Book 7)
Veronica McGinnis is a single mom, more concerned with her son's homework
than dating. She lives quietly on the Scottish coast, writing articles for the
local newspaper and raising her child. When her cousin Declan invites her to
his huge wedding, she thinks nothing of accepting the invitation.Veronica needs to escape her humdrum existence, if only for a while. She loves being a mother, but most days, it feels as though that's all she is. As a submissive member of The Dungeon Fantasy Club, she's been feeling achy and needy, and downright ready to jump the mailman's bones – which, in her small town, is the epitome of desperation.
Hunter Clarke is a famous Hollywood movie star, appearing in several of the latest blockbuster films. His name and face, as well as his potential love interests, are constantly splashed across the news, right alongside politics and the latest baseball stats. One of the founding Dom members of The Dungeon Fantasy Club, he walks a tightrope, with salacious reporters just waiting to uncover the tawdry side of his life in return for a huge payday.
Hunter has to make amends with Zoey, his best friend's fiancée, especially if he wants to remain a member of the club, so it's with his hat in his hands that he accepts Declan's invitation to be one of the ushers at what promises to be the wedding of the century. Hunter couldn't be more shocked when he enters Mullardoch Manor only to discover that one of the other guests is none other than Veronica, the first love of his life, and the woman who broke his heart.
When Hunter discovers that Veronica is a submissive club member, he tempts her into a private scene. Her sweet cries as she submits to his fervent demands make him wonder how he could ever have convinced himself that he could live without her.
Veronica's only thought, however, is how much she needs to keep the secret she's kept hidden for ten years. When the truth is revealed, she moves heaven and earth to shield the most precious person in her life from the fallout – even if it means leaving the one Dom she knows she could give her whole heart to.
Will Hunter be able to convince Veronica to submit to him for more than just one night?
