Once upon a time

Elizabeth walked through life with all the confidence and bravado that went along with being a naive girl raised in wealth and privilege. She never could have imagined she'd end up as just another statistic of human trafficking, but after things go array during a family vacation in Italy, that's exactly what happens. The only thing that saves her from her attackers is the fact that she's a virgin and they're every bit the greedy lowlifes one would associate with such a despicable criminal enterprise.

As the leader of one of the most successful and lucrative trafficking organizations in the world, Costin has made a name for himself as a man to be both feared and respected. He specializes in providing exquisite women to rich and powerful men, ensuring each is trained - mentally and physically - to his exacting standards. When one of his suppliers offered him a beautiful, innocent American girl, he decided to throw caution to the wind. This girl would be his - body, mind, heart, and soul - and he was going to relish every scream, savor each tear, and enjoy every second of breaking her apart and consuming her.
