into the mess I was currently in? Maybe that’s how I was in my current situation with a man I knew could save me from a fate worse than death. Even if being with Cameron, giving him the very part of me, the only part that was worth anything—my body—might very well ruin me, I had to survive.
Drug lord. Crime Boss. Murderer. I should fear him, be horrified by what he wants from me, by who he was. But instead, I find myself wanting to please him, wanting to give myself over completely.
Because I know that gave me control over him.
Cameron Ashton reined over the gritty underworld, the danger and violence of depravity, from his throne. A pistol was his sword, and apathy was his second-in-command. I know he was dangerous, know he would break me and not think twice. But he was my only chance, the only way I'd survive.
He was possessive and controlling, claiming he owns me And he does ... every part of me. The darkness in him ran stronger, deeper than it ever had in me. Maybe we’re not so different? Maybe giving up my control to Cameron, giving him my very soul, made me the powerful one?
Maybe, in the end, I'd be the one who owned him.
Warning: There may be subject matter and triggers that are sensitive to some readers. In the end, this IS a romance, albeit not a traditional one.

This cover is a pretty good representation of the hero. The composition is fairly good. The typography is OK. The title itself is good, but I would have made the authors name and the bylines slightly smaller in width. I also would have removed the gray from behind the title as I find it a bit distracting. Overall though one of the better covers I have seen.
I enjoyed this one a lot. From the trigger warnings I expected this one to be heavy on the dark content, but honestly, it really wasn't. What it turned out to be was a fairly well written and nicely paced read with likable characters (I hope we get a book featuring Damien.) A few hot sex scenes and a slightly disappointing ending (what can I say I am an epilogue whore.)
This one is fairly short and certainly “insta-everything.” I do think if would have been an even better book had it been longer and more fleshed out. It's a little light on character backgrounds and plot. That said this type of book is what this author is known for, so I knew going in what I was going to get. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
