About this ebook

A dark mafia cat burglar romance novel by #1 International Bestselling Author Nikita Slater.


When she runs, he will hunt.


Protector, stalker, lover… she is his obsession. From the moment Roman Valdez set eyes on Katie, he knew she was the one for him. Beautiful, carefree and captivating, but at thirteen she was too young. So, he waited, watched and protected. Followed her through the years until she was ready to be with him.


Only something happened to his beloved along the way. His perfect princess grew dark and distant. Instead of embracing his love, she runs away from it, convinced that she’s not worthy of all he offers – love, protection and happiness.


Now, he will set his demons free. He will rise up from the ashes of his father to inherit the Valdez cartel. He will burn her world and bathe in the blood of her enemies until she is free to belong to him. He will take his woman and his birthright and crush anyone who gets in his way.


But will he also crush the woman he loves along the way?

Oh, the things we didn’t know about these two! Katie has been keeping big secrets, and just when we think we know them, more appear. No wonder Roman was getting frustrated, he was thwarted at every turn. It takes quite a bit on both their parts to move past the pain and hurts, and their relationship will always be explosive, because these two positively spark and flame whenever they are in each others atmosphere <3
