“He wore jeans and a turquoise T-shirt. The colour made his eyes look
blue instead of green. I wasn’t fooled by his looks and his gentle ways. This
man had a will of iron, and by the way he looked at me, I could see he was just
as determined to control me as Angelo. He just used his tongue instead of his
fists.

I’d go along with it, because anything that kept me out of the hole
meant I had a chance to escape. I’d pretend to be docile, and as soon as he
fell asleep or took his eye off me, I’d make a run for it.

He looked me over, frowning slightly. Suddenly I wondered if he was
changing his mind. Maybe he wasn’t going to let me eat. Maybe it was a game
maybe he’d show me the food, and then tie me up and leave me to starve while he
stuffed his face. I was trembling at the thought. "

Review
I can really see how this author has grown in their writing. This was a fresh of breath air from the first novel “The Bonus” – I love watching an author mature in their writing and prose.
This story gripped me from the beginning and continued until the end. Two souls fighting past demons that hold them into a stalled future unless they can learn to trust each other and learn to love again.
Serenity is thrown into a world of the mafia and sex trade after her family sold her into slavery – during this time she is put through so much torture by the hands of Angelo until Zachary witnesses firsthand the shit she goes through.
Zachary takes her for his own while Serenity thinks she is just going from one torturer to the next but Zachary has different plans for her. These two through time form a bond and Zachary starts to open up to her and guides her into coming into herself.
Not only do we have a story about a man and a woman but add the Italian Mafia, forgery, thieves and murder and now we are talking!
