About this book

Summary

I wasn’t taken at gunpoint.I wasn’t dragged screaming into the dark.I walked into his world—and everything I was burned behind me.Palio Sabar doesn’t steal women.He claims loyalty.And once you choose him, there is no going back.Palio Sabar rules an empire built on silence, strategy, and fear.A billionaire with blood on his balance sheets and enemies at every door, he survives by control—and by never letting anyone close enough to matter.I was never supposed to matter.I was leveraged. A mistake. A name attached to someone else’s betrayal.But instead of breaking me, Palio offers something far more dangerous:A place at his side.Every instinct tells me to run.From his watchful eyes.From the way his voice wraps around my spine like a warning.From the quiet certainty that I am safest when he can see me.And yet… I stay.Because Palio doesn’t demand my body.He doesn’t force my loyalty.He waits.And somehow, that makes him impossible to resist.Palio Sabar doesn’t protect what he owns.He protects what he chooses.Once he decides I’m his, the world shifts. Rivals circle. Lines are crossed.And I realize the truth too late—I’m no longer a weakness.I’m the line no one is allowed to cross.But wanting him means standing in fire.And loving him means choosing power over safety.War erupts without warning.Alliances crumble.And I became the target meant to bring him to his knees.I could escape.Disappear.Save myself.Instead, I make a choice that changes everything.Because this time, I won’t be taken.I’ll stand.In his world, love isn’t claimed.It’s chosen.And once I choose Palio Sabar—The city will never forget what we are together.“Taken by Choice’ is a high-heat billionaire mafia romance featuring:A powerful, obsessive alpha heroA strong, self-possessed heroineIntense chemistry, emotional depth, and explicit scenesHigh-stakes danger and unwavering loyalty✔ Standalone romance✔ Happily Ever After guaranteed✔ Interconnected world with recurring charactersIf you love dark power dynamics, consent-driven obsession, and a heroine who chooses her fate—this book is for you.
