Taken As Collateral

I’m no Beauty, but I’d rather be trapped with Beast than with a gangster who says I belong to him.

Rafe Lee is part of a ruthless triad. He’s not someone you cross unless you want to end up in a watery grave—and that’s if you’re lucky. But my brother and I, professional thieves, botched a heist.

A painting we stole for him has gone missing, and Rafe decides to take me as collateral until it turns up. His sprawling villa filled with priceless artwork is my gilded cage. I just hope I can escape before I end up submitting myself to his wicked desires.
