BETWEEN TWO MONSTERS, I CHOSE THE ONE WHO TRAPPED ME FIRST.
My name is Clio Marsden. I used to believe in logic and history, but now I only believe in survival. I am being held by Dimitri Chkalov, a man who enjoys the sound of breaking spirits. I should be terrified of the man who first kidnapped me, yet Kazimir Abramov is the only one I want to see walking through that door.
I'd rather be his prisoner than anyone else's guest. Freedom feels like a hollow promise when your soul has already been branded by a kingpin.
I feel safer with my original captor. Our separation has proven a disturbing truth: freedom is a lie when your heart belongs to a cage. I am no longer the victim he found; I am the woman who has learned to bite back. I am now an active participant in his world.
★★★★★ Seeing Clio find safety in the man who originally kidnapped her was twisted and perfect. The chemistry in this book is off the charts. - Reader Review
Book 2 of 3 in the Violent Hearts series-an intense journey through trauma and psychological dependency where the monster you know is better than the devil you don't.
