Releasing as part of the 2019 Sinister Fairy Tales Collection!
The mafia never lets you go.
I thought I was safe, free, but I never expected to find myself locked in a cage.
I’m in his territory. His prison.
The beast.
A fate worse than death awaits me if I can’t get away, so when the opportunity of salvation presents itself I grab it, even if I’m unsure if I can trust the hand I’m holding.
The only way out is through, exposing secrets and spilling blood.
Things aren’t how they appear. Nobody is what they seem.
Not even me.

The chains chafed my wrists, making me wish I was still in my cage. Though it lacked privacy at least I had a bed and wasn’t restrained with my arms above my head. But I was in Domenico’s domain. The small bedroom like area created from a previous office. There was a mattress with a blanket and a lamp, but those were the only creature comforts. The rest of the room retained both the look and smell of the rest of the decaying structure.
With no way to tell time, I wasn’t sure how long I’d been there. All I knew was that I was tired. Being held against my will caused spikes in my adrenaline, and the crash left me drained. They had lessened over the weeks, but there was an undercurrent of strife going on, and I feared what would happen if things got out of control.
I stared at the bed, wishing I was on it. All that did was cause the memories of him inside me to come crashing down. The absolute owning of my body for him and him alone. The way he made me come undone.
Feelings that I shouldn’t have with his touch, but I did.
Feelings I drowned in as he consumed me.
I am Domenico’s…for now.
And that was the thought that always sent questions spiraling out of control and a spike of fear to run through me.
I was just a caged bird. A pet awaiting a sentence bound to be more grim than any fairy tale horror.
I received this book for free from the author for an honest review.
WHAT!!! YES!! This book is hawt and sexy and hella good reads.
This book is what I love best about KI….sexy chemistry and amazing twists.
The fair tale for this book is Beauty and the Beast and it is a perfect reincarnation of the story. Ari and Dom are so yummy to read.
Essentially your girl Ella/Ari is kidnapped by the cappo names Domenico. His scarred face is what gives him the nickname the Beast or La Biesta. He is a take now, ask questions later kinda guy. They two fight this crazy attraction all the while they are dealing with everything around them making them stop to figure things out.
I love this story. I find I am really enjoying mafia stories more and more. This story has soooo much happening but the manipulation and betrayals are the best part of the story because we really can feel what the characters are feeling as the story happening.
