Into His Command
The Cimarron Series
Book 2
By Angel Payne
A hero worshipped.
Brooke Valen has resigned herself to a life of adoring Samsyn Cimarron from afar.
The massive warrior has been her knight in shining armor since the night her family
arrived on the island of Arcadia, forced to blend into the strange new land to avoid
a terrorist’s bounty. Though Brooke has grown into a woman and devoted herself to
earning Syn’s respect, she doubts he’ll ever see her as anything more than a scrawny
teen with stars in her eyes.
A prince scarred.
To Samsyn Cimarron, true love is a concept best left to story books. Syn likes things
he can control better, like the secrets he must keep to ensure his country’s security—and
a long string of one-night lovers. But when Brooke is wounded helping to defend the
kingdom, all his careful mandates are shattered—and fleeting passion with her doesn’t
feel like enough. Brooke affects him like no other lover…
A fate sealed.
Suddenly, Arcadia’s security hinges on Samsyn and Brooke uniting as more than “friends
with benefits”—much to Syn’s conflict. Can he fight the new sensations that come with
having her all to himself? There’s a dark side of his desire—and exposing it may turn
Brooke from him forever.
A love realized?
Though sharing a bed with the man of her dreams, Brooke has never felt more alone.
Is the love in her soul strong enough to reach the beast in Syn’s, or will she have
to prove her devotion by confronting Arcadia’s most vile enemy?

Other Books & Series by Angel Payne
An “acknowledgement” feels so small, to embody this writer’s humble gratitude to each
and every reader who wrote after
Into His Dark
, supporting our little island and its royals. You have no idea how much it all meant,
especially after I’d been advised by a lot of people (
a lot
!) not to write that book.
For everyone want the weird, who love the weird:
THANK YOU.
And yes, I said
our
island.
My friends, Arcadia is just as much yours as mine.
The magic is inside you. Believe in it. Love it. Escape to it.
Be it.
For the gals (and guys!) in the Facebook. Instagram, and Twitter support-verse:
Your encouragement has been amazing, and thank you!
And my writing friends, who have talked me off of so many ledges!

Melisande:
This book is magical because of you. Syn, Brooke, and I cannot be more thankful for
your AMAZING help in making their story sing. Your guidance for the story and support

Twinsie Talk Reviews
“5 smoldering, seductive stars.
Oh My Gahhh
. Even though this is book 7 in the Wild Boys series, it is my first book by Angel
Payne, and I see what I’ve been missing! Aside from the excellent writing, excellent
editing, ease of reading and all around fabulous story…the characters have me frantic.
Dan is such a complex character…and Tess, wow, how she desired him from afar, being
nothing more than co-workers, and then coming to bat for him after his “accident”
and helping him recuperate in the hospital. This is a tale of desire, a body’s need
for Dominance/submission, and how not following your soul’s desire for honesty could
mush up a great thing.”
—
Rachel Bound by Books
“A beautiful story…They complete each other. Their story was definitely worth reading.”
—
Books Eater Blog
“If you are looking for a hot read and a walk on the darker side of the BDSM world
is OK with you, definitely check out
A WILDer Kind of Love
. The familiar faces from the previous books in the series are present in varying
degrees, but this story can absolutely be read as a standalone.”
—
Oh, My Growing TBR Blog
“5 Stars! A lot of heat…Tess was a real surprise to me. Her strength and drive to
change her life are what brings Dan out of his dark world and into the light with
her.”
