Publisher Description
He was her kidnapper and became her salvation. She was a thief and became his queen.
The minute Nicky Tarnovsky walks into my bar, I know he’s trouble. He’s not another playboy businessman in search of a casual hookup. Behind his bedroom eyes lurks the cold cunning of a brutal man. The attraction between us is instant, undeniable, and explosive. I’ve always been messed up that way, loving the wrong guy and suffering the consequences.
My world turns upside down when Nicky delivers me to a Colombian cartel as payment for a debt. Inside the idyllic walls of a tropical compound, we become playthings to the psychotic whims of the beautiful Valentina. She’s bent on destroying our self-respect with her dirty, sadistic mind games. Soon it’s obvious that Nicky is as much her victim as I am.
Any minute, I expect to die, and it’s all his fault. I should hate him for bringing this hell to my doorstep. I should consider him my enemy. However, the only thing I can think about is crawling into his arms after the torture. The longer we’re held captive together, the more my feelings become twisted. What should’ve been our first kiss might be our last. I don’t care that he’s a criminal. He’s the only thing holding me together.
What they don’t know is that I’ve only begun to fight.

Amazing Dark Romantic Suspense!
Wow! This is an outstanding dark romantic suspense! Impossible to stop reading it! You can read this story as a standalone, but I highly recommend you to read The Exiled Prince Trilogy, and The Rebel Queen duet before. Believe me, you don't want to miss these stories. Ruthless Knight is so much more than what I had expected. Anyway, let's be realistic, Jeana E Mann never disappoints, and she will always amaze me with her gripping stories. Despite that fact, I wasn't prepared for Nicky and Calliope's heart wrenching story. I had an instant love for both of them. Their story is heartbreaking, suspenseful, intense, and breathtaking. In fact, some dark scenes were hard to read, not knowing what will happen next. I had shivers while reading. Sir Nicolay Reznik Rarnovsky (Nicky) is an amazing character, powerful, sexy, playboy, ruthless, but also extremely loyal, caring, and protective. It was hard to see him powerless. Calliope is a very strong woman, caring, protective, resourceful, and independent. Their instant attraction, and sizzling chemistry are unique and explosive. I really appreciated having both POV. The storyline is fast-paced, suspenseful, filled with danger, and twists and turns. The cast of characters is really impressive. I loved to see again Roman/Rourke, and Henry/Everly. Valentina's character is well portrayed, as a real she-devil, and a sadistic monster. I can't wait to know more about Jagger, Calliope's sister. The ending is beautiful, and I need more of Nicky and Calliope's story! Looking forward to read Absolute Power, Jagger's story. If you like dark romance, this one is definitively for you. I HIGHLY recommend it. I can't help wishing to have this story, and the intertwined series, in audiobook (read by the appropriate narrators). It would be amazing.
