Synopsis

Vanessa I was trying to save myself from a loveless marriage, but it seems I’ve gotten myself into an even bigger mess. My father and brothers aren’t going to just let me go out and live my life. They’re bound and determined to sell me off to the highest bidder to avoid having to pay the penalty for my marriage contract. My intended suitor has already outlived three wives, and I have no intention of being number four… My prospects leave me with no choice but to appeal for help from the one man who might hate my family more than I do. Emory Moretti is cold and calculating, but he’s my best shot at a future that doesn’t include a husband twice my age. Only, I grew up in the mafia world, and I know what the other families say about him. His mansion might end up being just as much of a prison as my family’s home, and it’s not like anyone is going to come to my rescue… Have I walked myself into an even worse deal than the one my family was desperate to make for me? Taken in Trade is Vanessa's complete romance with no cliffhanger. It takes place in the same world as Safe With Them. I recommend reading Safe With Them before Taken in Trade due to character/plot crossover. As with all my books, you'll find no cheating, no choosing, and the men always fall first.
