The captive's kiss

Mafia

5.0

She lived in a world of shadows and secrets, where she was never destined to get close to the dark world. But when she finds herself bound and captured by the Mafia's most dangerous enforcer, her life becomes a perilous game of survival-and seduction. Her captor is ruthless and relentless, his icy demeanor hiding secrets as dark as his past. She's just a pawn in his world...or so she thinks. Yet, with each passing day and every increasingly hot exchange between them, she catches glimpses in him behind his mask-one that is as broken as she is fiery. Compelled by happenstance and bound by a chemistry none can deny, they both enter a lethal dance of trust and betrayal. But in the Mafia underworld, loyalty is a fragile thing, and love may just be the most dangerous weapon of all. Will she fall into his clutches, or does she find herself falling for the only man who should become an enemy? In the shadows, one thing is sure: surrender comes at a price, and in The Captive's Kiss, passion might just be their only salvation-or downfall. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or just possibly, she was exactly where fate wanted her to be. The Mafia enforcer with cold-hearted deadliness trapped her within a world barely known to her. He is as mysterious as he is ruthless, every spoken word with laced danger, both terrorizing and captivating her. In this war of wills, sparks fly, showing glimpses of the vulnerabilities that lie beneath toughened exteriors. The more barriers they break, however, the more she realizes that her eventual escape may just be a heart left behind. The lines between captor and captive blur in a tangle of resistance that binds them tighter than any chains. But in a Mafia world of unforgiving existence, trust is a weakness and love, a fatal mistake. Every kiss, every whispered secret brings them one step closer to betrayal. With enemies closing in around them from the darkness, loyalty balancing precariously, their bond becomes at once their vulnerability and their strength. From Captive's Kiss: She does have a choice to make: will she risk her heart and step into his world, or escape with her life, leaving their dangerous passion behind?

Ava's mother gets married again, and she finds herself living under the same roof as Ethan Thompson-most handsome boy in his school and son of the wealthiest millionaire in town-who is now her stepfather. What begins as an uncomfortable adjustment turns out to be more complicated when she realizes feelings toward him are more than just familial; the chemistry between them is undeniable, but with their parents happily married and with their new family bond at stake, both are torn between coining what's right and following their heart. As the moments of tender connection escalate, all small, into something far more intimate-a touch or a lingering glance. It is then that Ava's mother remarries, putting her under one roof with Ethan Thompson, the hottest boy at his school and the son of the wealthiest millionaire in town-her new stepdad. It's an uncomfortable adjustment that begins to get much more complicated when feelings toward him are realized to be more than sibling-like in origin. The sparks between them are undeniable, but their parents' happy marriage and their bond as a new family hang in the balance, leaving each person to be torn between coining what's right and following their heart.

Will they be able to embrace their forbidden love or give up their happiness for the people they care about? Meanwhile, Ava's best friend Leah gives another layer to the story.

Secrets begin to unwind: about Ethan's mother and the real reason for her disappearance. The family is immediately in turmoil, and Ava finds herself in a web of deceit and mystery threatening to rip the whole family apart. As the stakes mount, Ava must choose between walking away from the only person who has made her feel alive or risk it all-including the fragile new family she's just become a part of-for love that may be doomed from its inception.
