Olivia Daniels is desperate – desperate enough to kidnap her brother’s ridiculously handsome, yet undeniably dangerous boss and lock him in her basement.

Olivia Daniels is desperate – desperate enough to kidnap her brother’s ridiculously handsome, yet undeniably dangerous boss and lock him in her basement. Austin Black is a criminal, a man with a reputation for being ruthless, and the reason her brother can’t leave The Unseen. Olivia has a plan: keep Austin hostage just long enough to negotiate her brother’s freedom. Simple, right?
Wrong.
Because Austin Black is not the man she expected. Instead of a cold, terrifying crime boss, she gets a charming smartass who is more than happy to take long naps, tease her relentlessly about her kidnapping skills, and somehow manages to be annoyingly irresistible, all whilst being chained to the heating pipe.
But there’s something else Olivia didn’t expect – Austin left his father’s criminal empire two years ago. He’s been working to become a better man, a man worthy of a different life… maybe even a life with her. Because Austin knows exactly who Olivia is – he’s been watching her and waiting for the right moment to prove he’s not the villain she thinks he is.
Now, trapped together in the most bizarre hostage situation ever, Olivia has to decide: is Austin still the dangerous man she fears? Or is he exactly what she needs to shake up her carefully controlled world?
One thing’s for sure—she may have locked him up, but he’s the one making her feel like a prisoner to something far more dangerous… her own heart.
