Filthy Dirty Dom: A Dark Protector Billionaire Romance

To keep her, he must reveal the man behind the mask.

Manhattan fashion designer Leslie Duke has been captivated by her older brother’s best friend for years. Alex Samuels is beautiful, honorable, and controlled with a reputation for dark sexual tastes that makes her heart race and her imagination spiral.

A former special ops soldier, Alex is trained to eliminate threats—not surrender control. He’s hiding a terrible secret, one that means danger will follow him to the grave. To protect Leslie, he keeps pushing her away.

Until the day he can’t.

When Alex runs into Leslie at a sex club, he refuses to stand by and let her explore that world alone. He knows kink. He knows control. And he knows exactly how dangerous it could be for someone as innocent—and tempting—as Leslie.

She’s his to protect.

And his to teach.

What begins as a strictly bounded friends-with-benefits arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them planned. As their physical connection deepens into something far more emotional, a sinister presence from Alex’s past closes in.

When the darkness finally strikes, will Alex sacrifice their love to keep Leslie safe?

Or will he confront his demons—and claim the future he never believed he deserved?

A sexy, emotionally charged romance about dominance, protection, and confronting the darkness to claim love.
