I was fifteen when I sent the love of my life to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Back then Rafe was my brother's best friend and off-limits, but that didn't stop me from drooling over him. I've never forgotten the guy whose green eyes made me weak in the knees. Rafe hasn't forgotten me either. Eight years later, I find him on my doorstep with revenge on the mind. The twisted part of this story? I still want him, even though he's taken me to a private island with no chance for escape. He says I've got eight years of misery to atone for, and every move he makes is designed to shame and punish. But I'm wired for his methods, and instead of delivering retribution, his brutal touch lights us both on fire. NOTE TO READERS: Torrent is a dark romance with kidnapping and other disturbing themes.
