Imani Achmat was just trying to survive. As an escort in Cape Town, she knew the risks of her work, but nothing could have prepared her for the night she met Theo Le Roux. The second-in-command of the Marauder Kings, Theo is ruthless and powerful-and after one fateful encounter, Imani's life will never be the same.

Drawn into a world of violence, secrets, and lies, Imani finds herself trapped between her desire for freedom and the deadly influence of the Le Roux family. Her every move is watched, her choices no longer her own, and escape seems impossible. But when the cost of survival becomes too high, Imani must decide how much she's willing to risk to reclaim her life-or if there's any way out at all.

"Why can't I fucking hit you?" Thomas yells, smacking the belt close to her feet. "Why," he smacks it on the door above her head. "Why, fucking why" to the right and left sides of her body. Melina trembles against the door with her eyes closed and head tucked between her knees. She jumps, sniffing Thomas' cologne, and tries to hide more. He's probably bending down. "I want to hurt you, Melina, but I fucking can't. Tell me why I fucking can't. Tell me why," she bites her lips to muffle her sobs as she fears they will exacerbate her situation. "Fucking look at me when I am talking to you," Thomas says, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up. "I am- so-r-r-r-y," she says as she turns to face him with her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes. "Did you think it would work? Did you actually think you could get me arrested and then flee? Are you that dumb, Melina?" he tightens his grip on her hair, and it starts to hurt. Melina can't believe this is what he thinks. How will she prove that it was never her intention to have him arrested? ******** Melina Davis was born with the face and body of a goddess. Her heart was as beautiful as her, but it never did her any good. Melina was the most unlucky woman in this world when it came to love. Her first love was an abusive con artist who made sure to exploit Melina's kindness. The second one who Melina felt was genuinely worthy of owing her heart was far more dangerous than her first. His name is Thomas Costanzo. He is the second in command of the Costanzo mafia. He was highly feared in the mafia world. Some even feared him more than the don of the Costanzo mafia. Melina didn't know she shouldn't cross him, and she did. She broke the heart of one of the most feared men on this earth, and now, he is out searching for her. Once he finds her, Melina will wish she never crossed paths with him. #1 torture 12/22 #1 darkromance 01/23 #3 lovehaterelationship 12/22 #1sadlove 05/23 #1 darklove 01/23 #4 dark 01/23 #4 mafiaromance
