Crimson By Choice

'He was born during Demon Time.

Unless he's killed, he will grow too strong and no one will be able to control him.

If he lives, all will pay the price of him challenging the Crimson Demon...'

Blake Creighton, heir of Creighton Estate, has bouts of violence upon his return from the war. He has experienced unimaginable horrors during the war and his madness worsens with each passing day.

Hyacinth, a servant at the estate, a blonde haired, blue-eyed beauty left on the estate's doorstep in infancy, is the only one who has ever been able to sooth him. The household always said, 'All Creighton men were violent-red passion runs in their blood.'

Blake is enraged at how Hyacinth tells him of her love. He can't love her, but he greatly desires her. He asks her what hold she has over him that he should desire her as he does-even physically punishing her during his uncontrollable rages she still tells him she loves him.
