At first, she’ll beg for her freedom, but it won’t take long before she’s begging for something else. Her world has changed. She’s mine now. Beneath The Surface He took me from my safe little house and now I’m his. Cason Varens, the terrifying and brutally beautiful enforcer for the Varens crime family, plucked me from my life to punish my father. I may be young, but I know how this works. Men like Cason take no prisoners. Unless you make them want something more than blood and death. He says for the next seven days, I’m his. His to have. His to take. Payment for giving up a week of his life for the job. But what he doesn’t know is I’ve got a plan, and I’ll do whatever I have to so I’m alive at the end of that week. To him, it’s just seven days. To me, it might be the rest of my life. Beyond The Lies He’s claimed me, and now my life is in his hands. I only know him by his first name. King. Beautiful and savage, he promises if I obey him, I’ll get out of this alive. But that’s not how the world works, especially with men like him. I want to hate him, but I can’t deny what he makes me feel. I tell myself it’s the way I’ll trick him to get free, but will I be able to leave him if I get the chance? We’re playing a dangerous game in a place neither one of us belongs. King says everything he seems to be is a lie, except when it comes to me. Before this is all over, the two of us will see if that’s the truth. Publisher's Note: Captive Hearts A Dark Romance Mafia Collection contains themes which may be disturbing to some readers.
