Once You're Mine

A woman cornered by circumstance turns to Hayden Bennett, a man who is a monster in and out of the courtroom, for help she cannot get anywhere else. What should be a simple transaction curdles into something far more intense, because someone has already decided she belongs to him. The tormentor watches, follows, and grows more certain by the day that she is his, whether she knows it yet or not. Bridges writes the obsession from the inside, letting the possessive hero narrate his own descent, and builds the first half of a duet that ends on a cliffhanger with the tension pulled to breaking.
