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.
