Tormentor Mine

Dr. Sara Cobakis leads a quiet suburban life until Peter Sokolov, a former Russian intelligence operative turned mercenary, breaks into her home in pursuit of information. He leaves, but he does not forget her. Peter returns with a single decision made: Sara is his. What follows is a captor romance that refuses easy comfort, tracking Sara as she is pulled into Peter's violent world and, against every instinct, begins to see the wounded man behind the killer. Zaires builds the relationship out of danger, control, and a slow, uneasy tenderness, asking how far a person can be pushed before want and survival blur into the same thing.
