Cassidy Wynn’s future did not look as bright as it had a few years ago. After going to Hennhofen, Germany, to find out what happened to her friend, she found herself the captive sex slave of the castle’s baron. Bartering for the safety of her ‘girls’ was the only way she could think of to keep them from being sold. What she was not counting on was falling in love with the man who stole her and ordered her beatings.

Marriage to her captor was not how Cassie thought her life would end up, but here she was, the new Baroness of Hennhofen, Germany. Fighting and bartering made up the hours of her day, while heated lovemaking occupied her night. She never anticipated falling in love with Hans, but he had a way of melting the ice she tried to hide behind.

Hans was known throughout the castle as ‘The Master’. He was harsh, ruthless, and dangerous, but there was something about the blonde that had him thinking differently. He seemed to be changing before everyone’s eyes. After centuries of pain and abuse, hope was beginning to bloom within the castle walls. That was, until the morning a dead body was found on the property. A fear of a murderer on the loose looms across the small village of Hennhofen, threatening to destroy the love Cassie shares with Hans. Can they find the killer before he strikes again, or will Cassie be next on his list?
