Luka’s Captive by Rae B. Lake

She’s a silent temptress and I hold the keys to her freedom. Now that I have her I can’t let her leave.

I built the pit to bring endless pain to anyone who dare go against the Juric family. Only killers and sadists in the cells.
A simple swiped bag by a low level thief leads to a world of headache and uncertainty.
My father no longer believes I’m capable of handling my position as his right hand. A position I was literally trained for most of my life.
Our family name was once so feared that no one would even breathe the wrong way near us but now after Ilia Vavra has exposed our weakness the Juric family is being tested by everyone.
It’s my job to make sure everyone stays in order, or fear my wrath. It’s a job I take seriously but it seems those I’ve placed around me don’t take me seriously.
As I fight to gain my fathers trust back, solidify my hold over those who should fear us and retrain the men I lead my an impossible error was made.
My men were supposed to bring me the thief but under the hood, locked in the cell is her.
Brinley.
She hates me from the moment she sees me.
Her bright blue eyes stare upon me with judgement.
She pushes every button I didn’t know I had without saying a word.
This silent temptress isn’t supposed to be here, but now that she is I can never let her go.
