Overview

I thought I was escaping a monster. I didn't realize I was running from my only protector. Penelope Moreno thought her biggest problem was exposing a money-laundering ring at her prestigious Chicago art gallery. She was wrong. Betrayed by the people she trusted most, the brilliant art authenticator finds herself drugged, bound, and listed on a dark web auction block with a three-million-dollar price tag on her head. Then he arrives. Nikolaos is the ruthless, scarred Boss of the Hellenic Syndicate. He doesn't buy merchandise-he slaughters the men selling it. But when he drags Penelope from the blood-soaked warehouse, he doesn't set her free. Instead, he locks her away in his impenetrable island fortress in the Aegean Sea. To Penelope, Nikolaos is a terrifying captor. A brutal, untouchable warlord holding her in a gilded cage. But beneath his cold, calculating exterior and the jagged burn scars he hides from the world, lies a lethal, obsessive devotion. He built his island not to keep her prisoner, but to shield her from the international cartel actively hunting her. He is willing to play the villain if it keeps her breathing. But a gilded cage is still a cage. When a devastating misunderstanding pushes Penelope to execute a daring, desperate escape across the globe, she unknowingly runs right back into the very slaughterhouse she survived. Now, the real monsters have her. And the Greek devil she left behind is going to burn the entire world to ash to get her back. Beautiful Captive is an intense, high-stakes dark mafia romance filled with heart-stopping suspense, a fiercely intelligent heroine, and a morally grey hero who will destroy anyone who touches what is his.
