The Collar Promises Forever

It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In her pursuit to find meaning in her life, Melanie Smith moves to a foreign country to put down roots and start anew. Lulled into trusting a crafty stranger, all of her expectations regarding her journey are shattered when she's kidnapped and kept as a human pet by a man who seeks something impossible from her—absolute submission. Though she initially views him as a monster, Melanie finds that her captor hides a painful past behind his desire to possess and keep her locked away for himself. Can she convince him to change for the better, or will Takeshi slowly bend her to his will until she inevitably breaks? There has to be a man beneath all of that monster, somewhere. She has to try, because he promised he would keep her forever.

It was a case of being in the right place at the right time.

Unconditional love is difficult to find—but as far as Takeshi Ankata is concerned, he believes it can be forged in the fires of captivity. Convinced that traditional connections always come apart, Takeshi falls prey to his wicked desires and takes Melanie for himself. Determined to create an inescapable bond with her, he refuses to let her leave his side. From now on, he is the only thing she should ever desire. While Takeshi is lost in the darkness of his own heart, Melanie may be the only person capable of finding him… if he'll let her.
