Publisher's summary

Daisy

When my family gets deep into debt with the Russians, I sell the only thing I can to save them: My virginity. He may be able to take my body, but he will never have my heart. It’s only a week. One week in the bed of the city’s most notorious criminal. I can handle it. I have to. But I don’t count on his scorching sensuality, his surprising sweetness. His fierce protectiveness. I know he’s the last man in the world I should fall for, but his touch ignites something deep inside me. His dark, tormented soul calls to mine, draws me in, forces me to feel things I’ve never allowed myself to feel before....

Dmitry

Working as a hit man for the Russian Mafia, my life is nothing but an endless abyss of violence and solitude. My only goal is to keep my head down and do my job until I’ve repaid my debt and can get the hell out. I’m so close. Soon, I will be able to put this life of blood and death behind me. Until I see her. Daisy. Sweet. Innocent. With a core of hardened steel. Everything I’ve ever wanted, and everything I know I can never deserve. In a world full of darkness and cruelty, Daisy is like a ray of sunlight shining down into the pits of my personal hell. She is the light to my darkness, the innocence to my depravity. I will move heaven and earth to make her mine. And God help anyone who gets in my way.

A full-length 67,000 word stand-alone, sizzling hot romance set in a dark landscape with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA! This book involves explicit scenes, dark themes, and may contain triggers, but amid the violence and danger, two souls learn the true meaning of love and sacrifice.

Daisy the Beauty and Dmitry the Beast

A dark romantic, sexy and action-packed virgin beauty and Russian gangster beast. Great Story and narration. I can't wait to listen to the next book in this series, Sold by the Siren.

Loved it!

Here we have a delightful story reminiscent of a dark version of Beauty and the Beast. The characters have great depth, and very soon into the story, we learn of the personal burdens they each carry. There were times when my respect for Daisy waned, but she earned it all back at the end when she showed her true strength. Although very predictable, this is an enjoyable story that keeps the listener entertained throughout. The pacing and storyline never went stagnant, and it is for this reason, the book seemed to go as quickly as it did. The talented narrators made the listener feel the inner turmoil, love, and passion through their storytelling, which was vividly believable and, at times, beautiful. The intimate scenes were intense and almost made me blush. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a dark romance that has an actual plot. Bravo to the author and the narrators - excellent job!

Deliciously Hot!

Yummy, this was everything it promised to be and so much more, wow! well worth a listen!

So steamy

LOVED it. It's everything a woman wants to hear. Wear headphones to prevent awkward moments.

Dmitri the beast!

I loved this Mafia Romance. It had enough steam, mafia moments and action. I love how even someone is imperfect in looks can be seen for what they are inside. Dmitri's love and worship for Daisy was super sweet. I would definitely recommend.

Great Read

Couldnt get enough of it, wish it didnt end!
The plot and romance was great. I was listening to it every free time I got.

So good!

The characters are so complex and credible. Refreshing. I'm sick of the heroine being so confused and barely knows what a hard on is, and the hero is being so angry and growling "mine" all the time. This book is just *chefs kiss*

So sweet

I love how well dimtry treats her. Even with all the dark and danger he always puts her first. Great listen

Beauty and the Beast with the Mafia

The story was good, it was a lot like the Beauty and Beast with some stream. A dark story with so much action, very enjoyable. Loved the narration both did a fantastic job.

Nice twist on a classic.

This story was a nice twist on Beauty and the Beast. but there were some cringy parts. Things happened way too fast. I think working for the mod you'd have better security. But the story was sweet and I love when a woman's innocence is completely dumb but just innocent. It's the innocence that looks past the bad and ugly to see the good. That is what this story was. I liked the voice of Dmitri and the female voice as soft and innocent to sale the story. enjoyable enough. Kept me intrigued from the start.
