Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
In a Nine Circles novel, there is fine line between pleasure and pain, between sin and salvation. In Kidnapped by the Billionaire, Jackie Ashenden explores what happens when a man and a woman go from enemies to lovers. When revenge and desire collide... Seven years ago, billionaire-turned-bodyguard Elijah Hunt lost everything he had—his family, his future—and now he wants revenge. But when he decides to kidnap the daughter of the man who ruined his life, Elijah gets a lot more than he bargained for. Violet Fitzgerald is nothing like her corrupt wealthy father. In fact, she’s so disarmingly independent—and irresistible—that she's downright dangerous... there is no place to hide. Violet never thought she’d feel a connection to her captor. But there’s something beneath Elijah’s steel-bodied exterior that makes her want to know him more deeply...and surrender to his every demand. However, once Elijah’s erotic fantasies become a reality—and he and Violet develop a powerful connection—he finds himself in a quandary: Is he still the one in control? Or has Violet imprisoned him—body and soul? Jackie Ashenden's novels have been called "Tantalizing...explosive."(Publishers Weekly, starred review) and Kidnapped by the Billionaire is no exception. It will leave you absolutely breathless. Don't miss the other books in the Nine Circle series: Book #1: Mine to Take Book #2: Make You Mine Book #3: You Are Mine Book #5: In Bed with the Billionaire

The Kidnap Years
Author: David Stout
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1492694800
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
A chilling true crime book that chronicles the wave of abductions that terrorized the U.S. during the Great Depression, including the most infamous kidnapping case in American history. "A thrilling account that puts the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping case, billed as "the crime of the century," in the context of the thousands of other kidnappings that occurred in the U.S. during the Prohibition and Depression eras...will enthrall true crime fans."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review The Great Depression was a time of desperation in America—parents struggled to feed their children and unemployment was at a record high. Adding to the lawlessness of the decade, thugs with submachine guns and corrupt law-enforcement officers ran rampant. But amidst this panic, there was one sure-fire way to make money, one used by criminals and resourceful civilians alike: kidnapping. Jump into this forgotten history with Edgar Award-winning author David Stout as he explores the reports of missing people that inundated newspapers at the time. Learn the horrifying details of these abduction cases, from the methods used and the investigative processes to the personal histories of the culprits and victims. All of this culminates with the most infamous kidnapping in American history, the one that targeted an international celebrity and changed legislation forever: the Lindbergh kidnapping. The Kidnap Years is a gritty, visceral, thoughtfully reported page-turner that chronicles the sweep of abductions that afflicted all corners of the country as desperate people were pushed to do the unthinkable. "A fascinating crime book like no other."—David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

How to Kidnap the Rich
Author: Rahul Raina
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063028794
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
An entrepreneurial Indian con artist gets wrapped up in a criminal caper in this satirical look at modern-day India. The first kidnapping wasn’t my fault. The others—those were definitely me. Meet Ramesh Kumar, “examinations consultant,” who makes a lucrative living taking tests for the sons of India’s elite. He is just a cog in the wheel that keeps the middle classes thriving, until he takes India’s national university entrance exam for a lackluster student and inadvertently comes in first. Ramesh sees an opportunity—perhaps even an obligation—to cash in on the newfound celebrity of this client Rudi, who’s soon juggling stardom and his new job as the host of a quiz show. The young man’s meteoric rise brings material wealth and romantic intrigue, until they’re both kidnapped and held for ransom. But the way out of their predicament will lead Ramesh and Rudi through a maze of crimes both large and small, their dizzying journey revealing a modern India in all its complexity, squalor, and beauty. Praise for How to Kidnap the Rich “A monstrously funny and unpredictable wild ride.” —Kevin Kwan, New York Times–bestselling author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy “Brimming with rat-a-tat wit, breezy prose, and a keen observation of colorism, casteism, and social inequity. Unputdownable!” —Alka Joshi, New York Times–bestselling author of The Henna Artist “Raina’s debut novel lives up to its billing as a fun caper and social satire thanks to strong characterization, a fast-paced plot, and an eye for the ridiculous. His delicious skewering of the social mores of Delhi’s über-rich and clear-eyed rendering of India’s social hierarchy propel sheer entertainment into striking elucidation in the mode of Aravind Adiga.” —Booklist (starred review)

Her wrists. Her ankles. Her neck. She was going to be sold. Like an object. Voluntarily. Forever. But the sacrifice was worth it. Her father had debts. Her mother cancer. That would solve their lives. She was afraid. And then she saw it. Polished gleaming black shoes. Bespoke businessman suit. Wide back. Strong shoulders. A beautiful face like God. Lips that melted her. And a look that made her bow her head. Elena: Marcos is everything to me. He is my man. My Sir. My master. My owner. And I am his. I belong to him. In body. In mind. In soul. And my chains are proof of it. But what if Marcos is much more? Marcos: I'm not a good guy. But he had never done something like that. It was my 37th birthday. He was a giant. In every sense. High or tall. Strong. Muscled. Gifted. Multimillionaire. Successful. Funny. Owner of the night. Pubs. Clubs. Discs. And even more private premises. Sex. BDSM. It was my first and last purchase. He could have whoever he wanted. But I chose her. It was perfect. And she was mine. 100% mine. More about this source textSource text required for additional translation information
