Lauren
His world. His rules.
When I come face to face with my captor, Valter Kallas—a ruthless mobster, his plans for me are made clear. Do what he wants, and I’ll have a wonderful life.
Refuse and he’ll make sure I won’t survive the cruel Baltic winter.
Left with one choice, I do the only thing that I can to stay alive—obey.
There’s just one problem, his son, Damen. Tall, dark, and dangerous Damen.
No matter how much I try, Damen Kallas sees through the lies and barriers I put between us.
I should keep my distance. Instead, in my desperation, I ask him for protection—a decision that ultimately intertwines our fates.
Trusting him could be my only hope or my ultimate demise.
Damen
Even in a world as dirty as mine, I have rules that I won’t break. Lines I won’t cross.
As the oldest son of Valter Kallas, the head of the notorious Kallas crime family, I’ve never had a reason to go against my father’s rule…until a mysterious stranger arrives.
Blond, beautiful, a liar, and my newest obsession.
Lauren Sanders should never have stepped foot in my world. She doesn’t belong here.
I should send her away. Instead, I’ll protect her. It’s a decision that will put a target squarely on my back.
She could be my destruction or my ultimate salvation.
Renee’s Four Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Lauren had plans for her life and loved the life she was living. She never in a million years expected to find herself being kidnapped and then sold to Valter Kallas. The rules are very simple. If you want to live you have to obey to stay alive. She has to make the decision on what she will do to survive the cruel Baltic winters and she decides to obey but really wishes that she has a savior. A girl can dream after all and that savior just might come in the form of Master Kallas’s son Damien. When they meet there is an instant attractions and Damien is obsessed after a little bit but he is the oldest so of a crime lord. Will these two ever be able to trust each other or will Lauren escape with our without Damien’s help? Those are questions you will get the answer to as you read the book and it one that hook you from the beginning and you get this really great escape for some time with these characters. This book is also a little on the darker side and I should have said in the beginning that you need to heed the warnings because it might contain triggers for some readers. I think this is a story that will fill your romance loving heart though. Lauren certainly didn’t have a good life. She had a horrible family. Even her sister was terrible But I really liked Lauren. Damien has been raised in a crime family but I really thought he was a mysterious good looking man who is super attracted to a girl in a bad situation caused by his father. He could go either way and stick totally with his father or totally fall for Lauren and really want to save her.
