But even the relentless ache of the mating fever couldn't hold a candle to the cold, jarring shock of seeing your evil mother-in-law teetering on death's door.
In that instant, Violet's arousal didn't just fade, it was snuffed out like a candle.

Her face was a mottled canvas of purple and blue, as though someone had punched the daylight out of her. Angry red bruises circled her neck, stark evidence that someone had tried to strangle the life out of her.
