Brutal Captivity (Saints of the Sinners #1)

CALLISTO My entire life has been curated. Perfect clothes. Perfect body. Perfect manners. The perfect disappointment.

When I’m taken by a crew of art thieves in the middle of a robbery, I already know how the story ends. My family won’t pay a dime to get me back.

My father barely remembers he has a son even when I’m standing right in front of him. The problem isn’t dying. It’s realizing no one will miss me when I do. Then there’s Leo.

My captor is crude, infuriating, and entirely too comfortable calling me princess.

He treats me like a liability, but the more I look at him, the more I realize that art isn’t just paintings and sculptures… it’s people.

Our time together is winding down like a countdown on a bomb, but the closer we get to the final explosion, the more I realize I don’t want to escape. I want to burn with him.

LEO The job was supposed to be simple. Steal the art. Leave.

Instead, I end up with a hostage who talks too much, complains about fast food, and manages to insult my intelligence while begging for his life. Callisto Santos is everything I hate. Rich. Spoiled.

Beautiful. A fragile prince who belongs in a gallery, not locked in my spare bedroom. So why can’t I stop pushing him?

The more I peel back his layers, the more I realize he’s entirely too good for this rotten world. My crew thinks we’re just waiting on a ransom check, but the stakes just changed.

He wants to paint the world, and I’ve spent my whole life wanting to destroy it. To keep him alive, I will have to betray everyone who has ever cared for me. I will burn it all down… for him.
