To me, it might be the rest of my life. Beyond The Lies He’s claimed me, and now my life is in his hands. I only know him by his first name. King. Beautiful and savage, he promises if I obey him, I’ll get out of this alive. But that’s not how the world works, especially with men like him. I want to hate him, but I can’t deny what he makes me feel. I tell myself it’s the way I’ll trick him to get free, but will I be able to leave him if I get the chance? We’re playing a dangerous game in a place neither one of us belongs. King says everything he seems to be is a lie, except when it comes to me. Before this is all over, the two of us will see if that’s the truth. Publisher's Note: Captive Hearts A Dark Romance Mafia Collection contains themes which may be disturbing to some readers.
