Anya wished he would kill her and get it over with. It would be much kinder than the torture she has had to endure since being bought by Krzysztof Gornak six months ago. Now she's being sold again. When her name is softly spoken she looks up in terror when she sees the tattooed man, but is confused when he pulls a gun on Gornak telling him to remove his hands from her.
The man behind the devil removes his jacket and hands it to him. The devil walks towards her and cuts the ropes binding her hands and wraps the jacket around her. She is confused to why this Italian, an enemy, is not checking out the merchandise. Hope starts to blossom within her at his gentle touch and promise that she is safe now.
When they lead her to a car she doesn't care as long as she's away from the Polish monsters and it doesn't take long for the exhaustion to take over. She screams as she feels rough hands grabbing her body, but a voice catches her attention. The voice brings her out of her nightmare in shock. It's the voice of her sister who she thought she'd never see again.
Five years have passed and Anya is trying to avoid her sister's attempts to introduce her to various gentlemen. She is uncomfortable around people after being sold into slavery and she is now surrounded by hundreds of Italians and Irishmen celebrating the birth of Emilio and Brenna's twins. Now she is hiding from her sister and trying to work up the nerve to approach the man she's looking for.
She has a proposition for Padraig Donnelly.
This series just keeps getting better and better! Although this book can be read as a standalone, I highly suggest you start the series from the beginning. The Italian and Irish mobs were enemies who joined forces to take out a common enemy and ended up becoming family.
You meet the secondary characters in previous books and I love how they have an active part in each story. LK Shaw has woven these characters throughout the series so I feel like I know them all personally - am part of their family.
Anya's story, like her sister Mila's, will break your heart. Paddy knew what his family was doing in the raids against the Polish, but until Anya, it didn't truly hit him the true horror the women they saved had lived through. Anya had her struggles, but Paddy was the one who really changed with this story.
If you haven't read LK Shaw before, I can't tell you how much you are missing. Her characters will dig into your heart and her stories are action-packed, full of danger and suspense....and so smoking hot!
