Stolen Temptation by Renee Parker

Kiara

I’ve only ever wanted the two things I can’t have—love and freedom. Instead, I’m a prisoner. Forced to create art for the De Lucas to exploit.

Until my father is murdered. Now my monstrous cousin is the new don, and life as I know it is about to end.

Instead of just selling my paintings, he’s planning to auction me off to the highest bidder.

So I run.

Right into the hottest guy I’ve ever seen, who pins me to the wall and kisses me until my body lights up inside like a Christmas tree, before helping me escape.

But he’s no savior. He’s a member of the Irish Kings, the most vicious and powerful mafia family in New York City.

My abductor. My family’s sworn enemy.

And the one man who can give me everything I desire…if he doesn’t kill me first.

The assignment was simple. Infiltrate the enemy’s underground auction, steal the most valuable item as leverage, and find the mole who’s infiltrated the Gallagher family.

Instead, I find a gorgeous runaway who begs me to help her. She awakens the one thing in me I can’t afford.

Desire.

When I kissed her, I didn’t know who she was.

But it turns out I hit the motherlode. She’s Kiara De Luca. The crown princess of our arch enemies. The perfect bargaining tool.

And the woman who’s captured my heart.

I can’t fall for her. She’s just a job. She’s not mine to keep.

If I do, I’m betraying my family. And I can’t trust her. I’ve been betrayed by love before.

But I still can’t seem to let her go.
