Dive into Stolen:
BOUND BY DESIRE, ENSNARED BY DANGER
For six years, they've been my best friends—four devastatingly handsome roommates who never suspected how deeply my feelings had grown. As graduation approaches and our time together dwindles, walls crumble and confessions spill forth. My best friends want me. All of them. And I want them back.What begins as a dizzying exploration of passion quickly spirals into nightmare when I vanish without a trace—kidnapped during a date with the son of a powerful mob boss.
Trapped. A pawn in a vicious Mafia power struggle.
With no knowledge of whether my date survived the attack that tore me away, I'm forced to navigate a lethal underworld where family feuds are settled in blood. As rival factions circle and tensions escalate, one thing becomes clear: I'm at the center of a war about to explode.
The men who took me have no idea what they've unleashed. It's time to release the dogs of war.
