1 - Don't Run Now : A Wicked Kind of Love

Atlas Onasis was a man on a mission. It was time for him to collect on a promise made years ago. A promise made in the shadows.

Long ago he’d been summoned by a girl he’d come to desire, and under dire circumstances, that girl now very much a woman, asked for his help. He had honored his part of the deal and it had cost him dearly.

Now it was time for her to pay the price– honor her part of the pact. By the end of Winter she would be his. He’d left her alone to blossom, but he’d never strayed far. Adonis knew what his future would be and Halle Garrett was it. So ready or not, he would come.

Halle was a taken woman. She had been for many years. She knew Atlas was waiting for the perfect time to pounce and he thought she wanted to run. He had no idea of the feelings she had brewing inside of her. He’d been her endgame since day one, but Atlas was a hard man with a dangerous past. She would have to tread lightly to get what she wanted.

Atlas thought he would be in charge of what happened next. But he had no idea what she had in store for him. She would not lose and in the end Atlas would understand that running was not an option. That man was hers, all she needed to do now was show him what that meant.
