A truly outstanding mafia romance with dark undertones. It captured my attention & did not let go until the last page was turned. The story-line & plot is suspenseful, well-written & intriguing. The well-developed characters have unique personalities, some of them are inclined to be devious with deadly intentions but continue to develop & ultimately complement each other.
There is: a female prosecutor (Carina) almost at the end of a prominent court case to do with a murderous crime boss (Santana Dioletti aka the slicer) when three powerful men (Ruger, Damien & Aleksandr) take her & then decide to claim her for themselves permanently, a dangerous man (Lucian Masters), corrupt law enforcement, KGB, bounty hunters, mafia, FBI, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, mystery, secrets, adventure, action, devious plans, abduction, blackmail, danger, threats, enemies, violence, brutality, suspicions, manipulations, defiance, non-consensual scenes, domination/submission, discipline, spanking, humiliation, anguish, trust issues, memories, confrontation, betrayal, discovery, escape attempt, decisions, compromises, love, contentment, steamy scenes & a well-deserved happy ending.
