Publisher's summary

Olivia Heart has a tragic past and a closed heart. Focusing on her fledgling career to become a lawyer, she doesn't realize a moment of kindness, eight years ago, would be the undoing of all her hard work to remain hidden. Giving away her plane ticket in an act of defiance, Olivia seals her fate to a man who sees right through her.

In the passing eight years, Luca Caruso waits in the shadows, protecting her with his anonymity, money, and four highly trained guards, repaying his debt. The repayment stalls when one guard steps out of line, forcing Luca to steal her away to submit to a life of his blinding obsession and desire.

Olivia wrestles with her head and her heart, desiring her freedom, but also the secrets from the man that stole her away in the middle of the night. Amid his desperation for her acceptance, Olivia begins to uncover his dark secrets and attempts to flee. Feeling betrayed, Luca forces Olivia to make a difficult decision.

To bend or break? The choice is hers.

Slow moving

the story had potential but was slow moving. ends with a cliffhanger but book one doesn't want to make me listen to book two. book really would have benefited with the addition of a male narrator
