Until she laid her hands on his body too—a body that hadn’t been touched by a woman in six long years—lighting fire to his skin with the softness of her warm, nimble fingers. Lighting fire to every inch of him until his bones nearly melted away with the burning need to be inside her.

When it comes time to make the exchange, losing Mia is the only option… Or it might be a fight to the death. —— CAPTIVE is an interracial romance and can be read as a standalone novel.
