Vladimir is a man who never misses an opportunity when it comes to expanding his empire. He doesn’t care much for people, he doesn’t care about propriety, and he definitely didn’t care that he still hadn’t bothered to ask the name of the woman he was about to take back to his hotel. Valerie on the other hand cares – a lot. She cares about how other people see her and she still cares about her ex. He is the only reason that she agreed to a one night stand with the brute from the bar who has confused arrogance with confidence. What else is she supposed to think of a man who wears a near constant smirk? They may share hot chemistry, but Vladimir’s personality is arctic. And in the process of trying to get to know the cocky jerk, she stumbles onto the dubious contents of his suitcase and realizes that she needs to care more about her safety than what the hell he does for a living.

The Impaler - a title that inspired both fear and awe depending on who you asked. A title that Vladimir had exploited in order to survive. A title that made men heel. And now, a title that was used mockingly by the man who had taken Valerie. Valerie was well aware of The Impaler - the 15th century legend of Vlad Tepes III. What it had to do with her was still a mystery as she dutifully complied to the demands of her captor. She knew that something was off in their relationship, but she had never imagined that she would be collateral damage. Can the overwhelming feelings she has for Vladimir overcome the peril that lies in the hands of a man that wants more than just a simple exchange?
