Torturous Temptation (Ricci's Renagde Warriors #3)

Can a woman carrying enormous pain in her heart from losing some much at a young age who was tricked and manipulated into becoming a murderous mercenary, believe in love? Would she allow a man more dangerous than anyone she’d ever met in her life help her heal? Could she be strong enough to expose the weakest part of her soul to a man that knew her darkest thoughts? For years she’d guarded her heart beneath a layer of ice so thick you’d need a hammer and a chisel to reach it. The unexplainable connection they had was able to lift her at her lowest moment like no one else ever had. Their souls seemed to be connected
Yanda Thongchai- was the strongest, toughest and the least selfish of the renegades but she was also the one with the hardest and coldest heart when it came to love. She was a biracial mix of African and Thai. And she didn’t believe that anyone was capable of loving her for who she was. The things that she’d been through no man would be able to accept. Not only had she been orphaned twice in her young life, but she’d also been brutally assaulted and left for dead.
Only recently had she begun to think that maybe she could love a man that she once despised. However, because fate had a twisted way of affecting our lives he’d become a beacon of light to her dark soul. Their connection was not only unbelievable it was unshakable. But was that enough to make her give in and surrender to him completely?
Kendo Godfrey- was more than a handsome face with a witty personality, he was also more powerful and ruthless than most people could imagine. He’d been abandon by his parents to be raised by his Japanese grandfather a cold, heartless king of the underworld. To that old man, the fact that Kendo was half black always over-shadowed the fact that he was also his grandson. He was never shown any love, so he didn’t believe in love, he also didn’t believe that any woman could love him for who he is and not his money. But most of all he didn’t believe in the unexplainable.
However, since meeting the only woman who’d ever moved his heart, he finally thought that maybe he was capable of both giving and receiving true love. This woman didn’t give a damn about his money or power. She didn’t try to make nice with him because she wanted something in return. Hell, she didn’t make nice with anyone, and he loved that about her. But when strange unexplainable things began happening between them, he couldn’t deny that the two of them were meant to be together.
Find out if this ruthless businessman can melt the icy heart of the cold-hearted warrior woman who’d already claimed his heart and soul. Or if being near her will continue to be a Tortuous Temptation.
