Step into love

She lived in a world of shadows and secrets, where she was never destined to get close to the dark world. But when she finds herself bound and captured by the Mafia's most dangerous enforcer, her life becomes a perilous game of survival-and seduction. Her captor is ruthless and relentless, his icy demeanor hiding secrets as dark as his past. She's just a pawn in his world...or so she thinks. Yet, with each passing day and every increasingly hot exchange between them, she catches glimpses in him behind his mask-one that is as broken as she is fiery. Compelled by happenstance and bound by a chemistry none can deny, they both enter a lethal dance of trust and betrayal. But in the Mafia underworld, loyalty is a fragile thing, and love may just be the most dangerous weapon of all. Will she fall into his clutches, or does she find herself falling for the only man who should become an enemy? In the shadows, one thing is sure: surrender comes at a price, and in The Captive's Kiss, passion might just be their only salvation-or downfall. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or just possibly, she was exactly where fate wanted her to be. The Mafia enforcer with cold-hearted deadliness trapped her within a world barely known to her. He is as mysterious as he is ruthless, every spoken word with laced danger, both terrorizing and captivating her. In this war of wills, sparks fly, showing glimpses of the vulnerabilities that lie beneath toughened exteriors. The more barriers they break, however, the more she realizes that her eventual escape may just be a heart left behind. The lines between captor and captive blur in a tangle of resistance that binds them tighter than any chains. But in a Mafia world of unforgiving existence, trust is a weakness and love, a fatal mistake. Every kiss, every whispered secret brings them one step closer to betrayal. With enemies closing in around them from the darkness, loyalty balancing precariously, their bond becomes at once their vulnerability and their strength. From Captive's Kiss: She does have a choice to make: will she risk her heart and step into his world, or escape with her life, leaving their dangerous passion behind?
