LITTLE KITTEN

The Ravens are the most powerful secret society in the world. When a Raven dies, his widow doesn't go free. She goes back on the block—auctioned to the highest bidder, married on the spot, claimed in front of them all. And if she runs, the Talons drag her back.

GOING ONCE. GOING TWICE. SOLD.

My husband's death wasn't an accident. I made sure of that.

The man who helped me cover it up was supposed to buy me at auction. That was the deal. That was the plan.

Then Dane Sinclair bid fifty million dollars.

He's a Council member. A widower with three lethal sons. The man they send when a Raven breaks the rules.

I broke the biggest one.

Twenty years ago, he wanted me, and the Council told him no. Nobody tells Dane Sinclair no anymore.

He bought me. Married me. Made me kneel for him the same night. I should hate everything about the way he owns me.

I crave it instead.

But the man who knows what I did wants repayment. Spy on my new husband, or the Council learns how far I'll go to protect my daughter.

There's just one problem with spying on the man who commands the Talons.

He's always watching.

Content warnings

This list may contain spoilers.

Fallen Dane is a dark arranged marriage romance built on a wife auction and secret society power structure. Contains explicit sexual content including dom/sub dynamics, breath play, bondage, impact play, forced orgasms, edging, anal training, throat training, degradation, public sexual acts, and possessive ownership language. Features graphic on-page violence including murder, torture, and throat slitting.

The story includes references to child trafficking and a predatory arranged marriage involving a minor — both are discussed as crimes committed by an antagonist, prevented before execution, and no minors are harmed on-page.
