About the Book
I told him off in a café. That night, he took me.
Misha Barinov is the kind of man you’re supposed to fear—cold, violent, heir and enforcer to one of Brooklyn’s most dangerous crime families.
I was just a barista working two jobs and barely staying afloat.
Then I saw him kill a man in an alley.
And he saw me.
He didn’t wait to find out if I’d talk. He didn’t care about my life, my cat, or my second job. He just threw me in his car and said I’d be safer with him—because if the rival crew didn’t get to me first, his own family would.
Now I’m trapped in a stranger’s apartment, held under the claim of “protection,” and spanked the moment I try to leave—hard and fast and meant to keep me in line.
Because if I don’t act like I’m his, I won’t make it through the week.
I don’t know who to fear more: the men hunting me, or the one tying me to his world with gold necklaces and soft threats. I don’t know how to stop craving the same hands that enforce my captivity.
And I don’t know what’s worse—being forced to belong to him… or starting to want to.
Author’s Note:Savage Honor includes spanking, dominance, violence, and intense sexual power exchange. If that's not your thing, skip this one.
