Overthrown

Michelle *Mitch* Collins went to the Lion's Den that night to blow off some steam and bash in some heads. She didn't expect to save the fight club's new owner from being drugged and kidnapped by the Italian mob-or that he'd be Nikolai Volkov, the Russian mafia's stateside Pakhan.

With that one chance encounter, Mitch's life changes forever. She experiences love, caring, and sex like she has not felt in years. Yet as their passions grow, so do Mitch's insecurities. Wounds from a not-so-distant past remain painfully open as her tormentor of many years lies in wait for the right moment to strike and her inner demon reminds her of how fragile her happiness truly is. Night terrors plague her sleep, and her rage can only be subdued by violence. No Italian mob hit could compare to the torture that her own husband has put her through.

Little do she and Nikolai know, their problems may be connected by more than their growing love for each other.

OVERTHROWN combines the thrill of a mafia novel, the passion of a romance novel, and the empowerment of women's fiction focused on breaking free from abusive relationships.
