Stolen Lust (Beauty in the Stolen Book 1)

The night Ian Hart robbed the casino, he walked out with more than money—he took her too, and nothing has been the same since.

Ian is the most notorious criminal in the country, a shadow who moves in darkness and takes whatever he wants without apology. When he pulls Cas into his carefully orchestrated heist, he treats her like collateral—temporary, disposable, replaceable. But the hours he steals from her life leave behind something neither of them anticipated, and the consequences will drag them both into a nightmare neither can escape alone.

Now Cas lives with disaster pressed against her spine. Every sound in the dark makes her flinch. Every stranger's face could be one of the enemies Ian has unknowingly turned against her. She didn't ask to be pulled into his criminal world, and she absolutely refuses to be a casualty of it. Surviving means staying sharp. Surviving means being smarter than the man who took her—a man who happens to be the most dangerously clever person she has ever encountered.

This is a dark, unrelenting mafia romance that doesn't flinch from the brutal edges of a world built on power, fear, and obsession. The tension between Cas and Ian crackles with hostility, desperation, and something far more dangerous than either wants to admit. Their story is only beginning, and the line between enemy and protector has never felt so treacherous.

Some men don't just steal your time. They steal everything else too.
