About INDULGE ME:
Despite everything I have suffered, I never truly understood
darkness until my family was in danger. Those desperate hours came close to breaking
both Damien and me, but together we found the strength to survive and hold our
family together.
Even so, my wounds are deep, and wispy shadows still linger. But
Damien is my rock. My hero against the dark and violence.
And when dark memories threaten to consume me, he whisks me away,
knowing that in order to conquer my fears he must take control. Demand my
submission. Claim me completely. Because if I am going to find my center again,
I must hold tight to Damien and draw deep from the wellspring of our shared
passion.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new

book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt:
I’ve been dreading this conversation, but now that
we’re having it, I can’t help but feel relieved. Because I don’t want to keep
my wounds from Damien. Not when he’s the one who has always helped me heal.
I
used to joke that Damien could remake the world to his will with nothing more
than a sweep of his arm, and if that wasn’t enough, his checkbook could take
over, and he’d remake it with a swipe of his pen. An exaggeration, of course. A
joke, even.
And yet some small part of me believed it to be
true.
No. Some part of me
knew that it was true. Maybe not as to the whole world, but
as to us. Him. Me. The girls. Our friends. Inside the bubble we lived in,
Damien had that power. Even when the
outside world would squeeze in through a pinhole, somehow Damien would shoot
them down and shoo them away.
Anne’s kidnapping was a huge breach in that bubble. But
even then, Damien’s command and determination pulled us through, and we got our
daughter back.
We
also got pain and fear and death and betrayal. And defeat, I add, thinking of
the newest scar to mar my inner thigh.
Even then, it took some crazy teens on a winding road
for me to finally understand just how dangerous the monsters in the dark can
be.
I
love Damien. More important, I trust him.
But I’ve finally faced the realization that he can’t
truly keep me or the girls safe any more than he could put that bubble back over
our lives.
That’s the truth. That’s reality. And yet thinking it
feels disloyal.
He’s watching me tenderly, studying my face. “Tell me,”
he demands, and though it’s difficult, I lead him through the twisting path of
my thoughts.
“It’s never bad when illusions are shattered,” he says
when I finish. “Facing reality is the truest form of courage there is. But that
doesn’t mean you have to give in to it. Instead, you acknowledge it. You look
it in the eye. And in that moment, you know that you’re strong enough to
withstand anything. You, Nikki.”
“Am I?” I know he believes it. He’s always seen a
wellspring of strength in me that even the fact that I took a blade to my own
flesh couldn’t squelch.
And the irony? He’s right. I am
strong. I’m even stronger with him at my side.
But I’m also afraid.
I
think of the terror that burned through my blood on that dangerous mountain
road. The similar pang I feel every time my girls leave my sight now, because
I’ve seen the truth. I know that anything could happen to them. Anything at
all. And not even a man like Damien Stark can ensure their
safety.
I
meet his eyes. “Can you honestly tell me that your heart doesn’t tighten every
moment they are out of your sight?”
“Our girls? Of course it does. Every moment you’re away
from me, too. But goddammit, I won’t cower forever just because horror came
knocking. And I won’t let you, either.”
