Kiss The Dark

Sold into marriage to a reclusive man. Megan is dragged to a clandestine midnight ceremony and delivered to Gabriel North. Megan must spend 30 days married to Mr. North before she may finally be free forever. The only problem is that he marries every year only to annul the marriage and his brides are never heard from again. No one knows anything about him except that he is extraordinarily wealthy, and he has an estate high on the mountain above the city that no one is brave enough to visit. Before this Megan Steele had the perfect life. She was a wealthy heiress from a prominent family. Her days were filled with family, travel, parties, and society. Expected to marry at eighteen but unable to bear the thought of leaving her perfect life she turned down one offer of marriage after another. Four years and four suitors rejected, Megan has been proposed to for a fifth time. The suitor is the son of her father's investment partner. Megan made a fatal error with this refusal and placed her desire for freedom above her father's company. She finds herself sold into a forced marriage to Mr. Gabriel North to recoup her father's investment funds. More than that though, Megan swears there is something dark about Mr. North, something dangerous, something otherworldly. Where is the staff that keeps caring for them? How does his house keep changing? Why did his friend call him sire?

Why

Megan huffed, "Why does it matter to you?"

"I need to know how deeply you are involved with him before I can figure out what comes next." Gabriel explained calmly.

"So, if I tell you I am then you'll go away." Megan replied.

"No, I will not go away." Gabriel sighed. "Just tell me, do you love him?"

Megan shrugged, "I've only recently considered giving him a chance. He's been asking for weeks. I like him a lot, but I don't think I love him. Maybe a little."

Gabriel let out a relieved breath. "Did you love me that last day? Were you in love with me Megan?"

"Why does that matter now? It's ancient history." Megan snapped.

"If you loved me once we can get it back. Did you?" Gabriel asked desperately.

Megan scoffed, "Fine… I was in love with you until I found out that I'd been taken for a fool in the worst way imaginable. Happy?"
