But I broke her, and now we both have to pay the price.
I'm her nightmare.
I'm her savior.
And now that I have her signature on an ironclad contract, I own her body and soul.
She doesn't remember me.
She will.
It's inevitable.
Because as much as I know I need to stay away, for fear of unlocking the memories I helped her father bury--I can't.
She was the apple in the Garden, dangled in front of me, her core so tempting and sweet. A voice whispered. Just. One. Bite.
I bit.
I tasted.
I fell.
Welcome to the world of the Russian mafia, where death, is your only future.
EXCERPT
“You,” I said
simply. “It all leads to you. Everything. And I think, for now…” I leaned up,
brushing my lips across his. “That’s all that matters.”
“And if I’m the key
to both your survival and your destruction, what then?”
“You mean what if
your water is poison?” I asked.
He didn’t answer.
“Then I want to
drink.”
There were two
seconds.
Two brief moments
in time.
When I felt my
heart race and wondered if it matched his as Nikolai took a steadying breath…
then swallowed hard.
One beat against my
chest, and his lips were touching mine.
Two beats as my
heart picked up speed, and I could feel the heat of his mouth as he slid his
tongue across my lower lip.
I moaned in
response, reaching around his neck, grasping fistfuls of his hair and tugging
as his body moved against mine. Without breaking the kiss, Nikolai found the
hem of my cotton T-shirt, lifted it and pulled it over my head, our mouths
parting for seconds before, with a sizzle of heat, they met again, and again.
Each time our lips grazed it felt new, and yet familiar, like we’d shared
hundreds of kisses, thousands of embraces.
He leaned back and
helped me to a sitting position, his muscles flexing from holding his own
weight. Moonlight shone across the planes of his firm chest. Something about
Nikolai’s masculine beauty was lethal, so dangerous that my heart raced even
harder. He frowned, pressing his palm to my chest as if trying to calm me down.
I wasn’t safe.
Not in his
arms.
Kim's 4 Star Review
Nikolai (Nik) Blazikis
the go to Doctor when you want to hide a secret. His speciality, erasing memories. He’s has
only one weakness, Maya, daughter of Russian Mafia leader Alexander
Petrov. Nikolai went to collect the debt
that Alexander owed him, asked for one thing.
Will his desire be his downfall or will it bring a bright future for
him?
I was given this in exchange for an honest review.
Maya has always
felt like she was a burden to her father.
He never had anything to do with her and if she wanted something he made
her work for it. Little did Maya know what would happen when she asked for her
father to help her get an interview with Doctor Nikolai Blazikis.
Nikolai knows
what he is and giving Maya an internship with him may just be the worst
decision he’s made yet but there is something about her that he’s drawn
to. This internship has rules, rules
meant to protect Maya but what happen when the memories that Nik help erase when
she was sixteen start coming back? They
develop an undeniable connection during their time together.
This book is a
spins off the Eagle Elite series but can be read as a stand-alone. I’ve come to expect a certain level of
writing from Rachel and she has always delivered and gone beyond. This book took Maya and Nikolai to places you
didn’t think it would and watch as they fight through their past, to gain their
future. The twists and turns kept me on
the edge of my seat drawing me in so I couldn’t put the book down. Rachel gave her readers the right amount of
action, mystery, drama, romance and suspense.
This is yet another amazing book of Rachel’s that I highly recommend.
She keeps her home in Idaho with her Husband, adorable son, and two snoring boxers! She loves to hear from readers!
