Hitman's Captive — Lara Swann

“No, princess, I won't force you �" I'm going to make you beg.” Leo I'm a killer for hire. Anonymous and independent. A professional. I've spent my life killing men and f*cking women. And I never hesitate to pull the trigger. Until I see her. Seductive innocence. Fire and passion. Curves that make me want to touch and taste and take until there's nothing left. She's standing over the wrong man's body �" and looking back at me with terrified eyes. A witness. I should kill her. Fix this f*cking mistake. But for the first time in my life, I can't. Instead, there's only one option left: I'm going on the run, and I'm taking her with me. The sweet heat of her body may be more dangerous to me than any mafia boss ever could be, but when our lips meet …it's worth every risk. This woman might be the death of me �" but first, I'm going to make her scream. Alessa I'm an Italian mafia princess - and my life belongs to my family. Duty. Service. Obedience. That's all I've ever known. So when my father offers my innocence and marriage for a powerful alliance, I'm ready. Until the Russian mafia boss I'm promised to is violently murdered in front of me - and I'm taken as the only witness of a terrifying crime. Kidnapped by a powerful and predatory b*stard who terrifies me one moment…and sets my body on fire the next. I should hate him. I do hate him. And I'm getting out of here �" somehow. But…every time he comes close to me, I can't help but react to that cocky smile. The glint of arrogance in his eyes. His sinfully hot body, tattooed and hard - and so blatantly on offer. I've never felt anything like this. Never known anything beyond my father's strict control. And for the first time, I want something for myself…to let him steal my innocence with every dark, intoxicating promise.
