Enthralled
Giana Darling - 2019
I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their first child. My situation was a little different. Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold. Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell. He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end. I was his tool and his weapon. And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.

Facade
D.H. Sidebottom - 2014
This book contains situations that some may find offensive. If you are sensitive to graphic violence read with caution. This book also leads into a second book. You will get answers but the story will continue into a final instalment. You have been warned. Enjoy.
You meet someone. You date. You fall in love. You marry. The four simple rules of love…. Wrong! I’m getting married but I’d never met him before now, never dated him, never fell in love. I have no access to the memories of the most magical time of anyone’s life. My mind won’t allow me to evoke the past, I can’t remember those simple stages to lead me to the fourth . I can’t comprehend why I would have ever wanted to marry someone like Dante. I should never have passed the first stage, although, I may have seen him through the eyes of the woman I once was, this me that lives, breathes here now, can’t understand how we made it to the next stage. I’m not sure, without memories, how I know that this voice inside me, telling me I would never have chosen him, speaks some truth, I just know. He’s controlling, arrogant, callous and violent, and utterly hell bent on humiliating and degrading me – Like watching me falter, watching me struggle to comply and be the woman he asked to marry, powers him- as though he wants to break me piece by piece. Fiber by fiber. Until all that’s here is the shell he created from a soul that I once owned. Now my memories are slowly returning. And they show me a completely different side to meeting him. Our dates, falling in love. The Dante haunting me in the shadows of my mind is loving, gentle and utterly enamored with me, nothing like the man with me now. And this is what taunts me. My tender lover turned into a debauched, cruel sadist who is determined to consume my life, destroy my mind and murder my spirit. I am, Star, and just like with some stars in the sky, the light you see is an echo, a façade, I am already gone I am a no one. Especially to him. To him I am the dark in his desires, the corrupt in his depravity. The sin in his immorality

The Club
Suzanne Steele - 2015
This is NOT a love story. It is however a dark erotic tale of a man who is severely damaged. A man who becomes very dangerous when it comes to his captive bride. There will be bloodshed and lives lost before Antonio Wayne ever lets Roxanne go.This is a very DARK read with triggers. It deals with human trafficking and all the ugly that goes with it. If you're sensitive to triggers I do NOT recommend reading this.Antonio Wayne: I pulled on my brother’s arm; screaming, as he forced me to board the plane to America. “I’ll be good, I swear I will.” “It isn’t about you being good; it’s about you staying alive, Hermano. You are all I have. I can’t afford to lose you to the drug cartel. I’ll send for you.” My heart broke the day my brother put me on that plane, but that was the day that I became a man. I vowed that day to never love again and it has served me well. I am now one of the most deadly and high ranking mobsters in New York City. Roxanne: I traveled the world as a cage fighter. Hey, no girl wants her face messed up, so my friend and I came up with an idea; only fight each other and throw the fights so that the ‘upsets’ would cause us to make more money. We were doing fine until we stole from the Ramirez brothers. My best friend is now the property of Ricardo Ramirez (Their story is in the book Rubia) who resides in Guatemala City and I am now the property of Antonio Wayne Ramirez, one of the most deadly and feared men in New York City. My husband is obsessed with me and will stop at nothing to keep me in his possession. Antonio: I vowed from childhood to never love again after growing up in the back streets and the jungles of Colombia. My brother put me on a plane to the US and I clawed my way up through the gutters to become the man I am today. My heart broke the day my brother put me on that plane, but that was the day that I became a man. I vowed that day to never love again and it has served me well. I am now one of the most deadly and high ranking mobsters in New York City. The day she stole from my brother is the day that she became my property. My captive very quickly becomes my obsession and I will stop at nothing to keep her. I am brutal, I am ruthless, I am vicious, I am cruel, I am savage, and I am a man who will stop at nothing to not only gain, but maintain control. If pleasure works then so be it. If stronger measures of pain need to be taken, then so be it.
