He erased my name. He locked me in a glass cage. He says it's for my own good.
I was a starving artist living in the shadows of Seattle. Invisible. Unimportant. Until I woke up in a sterile white room with no windows and a magnetic lock on the door.
My captor is Dr. Merrick Baines. He is a genius. A billionaire. A man with ice in his veins and a scalpel in his hand. He tells me I carry a rare genetic mutation-a biological miracle that powerful men want to harvest. He tells me he stole me to save me.
But his protection feels a lot like possession.
Merrick doesn't just want to hide me. He wants to study me. He measures my pulse. He controls my diet. He watches me sleep through the monitors. He touches me with cold, latex-gloved hands that make my skin burn with a confusing, terrifying heat.
I should hate him. I should run. But outside these walls, there are wolves waiting to tear me apart. Inside, there is only the Dragon.
As the exams turn into caresses and the clinical obsession turns into a dark, consuming need, I realize the terrifying truth: I'm not just his patient. I'm his prize.
And he will burn the world down before he lets anyone else touch me.
The Surgeon's Prize is a high-heat, high-stakes Medical Dark Romance. It features a possessive, obsessive anti-hero, medical kink themes, and a touch her and die dynamic that will leave you breathless.
