Retribution (Den of Deception #4)

I thought Shade, Blake and Mav could protect me. They all thought so too, but now that our little bubble has has been blown to bits, the truth is, they can't help me anymore.

My stepfather has me in his grasp and he's made a deal to marry me to worst man I've ever met. And that's saying something. Joe Banderville, my future husband, is as ruthless as he is insane. He wants me broken and bent to his will... following at his heels... a devoted, silent little wife who'll do as she's told and bear his heirs.
He has me locked in my stepfather's house and under the watchful eyes of his allies. His driver, his bodyguard, the sadistic nurse who enjoys the power she has over me. I'm all alone here. A prisoner. The three men I care about most in the world can't get to me. They can't save me.

But my enemies won't break me. I'm Daisy Evans and I've taken everything life has thrown at me so far. My parents' deaths, ten years in an institution where they made me believe I was the one who was defective... But if it's a choice between being 'defective' or being like Joe or my stepfather, well, I know which one I'll choose. I need to get out of here first, though.

I guess I'll just have to save myself....

Retribution is book four in the Den of Deception five-book series where enemies become lovers and the weak become strong. Daisy is a neurodivergent FMC in a world where she's seen as lacking, an embarrassment, a problem. But she'll show them all who she really is, and she won't have to choose between her stepbrother and his friends while she does it... ;) Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
