Zeth Mayfair's never been troubled by morals before. As one of Seattle's most dangerous, feared men, he's always carried out the jobs he's sent on without a second thought. Drugs? Guns? Dirty money? They're all fair game. But girls? Girls are another matter entirely. When Zeth's employer decides buying and selling kidnapped women is a lucrative sideline, Zeth's usually uncomplicated life suddenly becomes very complicated indeed. And his biggest complication goes by the name of Sloane Romera.

As a trauma doctor at St. Peter's Hospital, Sloane's finger is hardly on the pulse of Seattle's underground crime scene. Her sister is missing and she needs to find her, yet all doors leading into the seedy world of human trafficking are firmly closed in Sloane's face. She needs information. What she really needs is help...and help presents itself in the most unlikely of forms. Zeth Mayfair is terrifying, scandalously hot, and comes fully loaded with a terrible attitude and wicked smile. He also looks like he's Sloane's only hope. Can she work with the guy without getting herself killed, losing her job, or falling head over heels in love?

What happens in the dark never stays in the dark.

This book is hands down amazing. I actually bought this book to keep me busy while I waited for a new release on Tuesday and I am so glad I did. This is the first book I've read from Callie Hart and I am now a huge fan!

This book is dark and violent, yet erotic and sinfully beautiful. Pretty complex huh? It's so hard to put into words the many layers that this book has. The concepts are not the pretty cookie cutter types, they're violent and realistic, the characters are far from perfect and that's what makes this story so great.

The story is centered around Sloane trying to find her sister who was kidnapped two years ago. Sloane will do anything to get her sister back, and I do mean anything, and that's how we meet Zeth. I loved watching Sloane's personality grow through out the book. After everything she goes through she can no longer be the sweet naive woman, she has to become a strong willed person to survive.

Now to the best part: Zeth Mayfair. He is drop dead sexy as sin. Zeth is the definition of bad boy and he doesn't disappoint. What is so great about him is that even though he's a ruthless killer, he is protective, loyal and so honest. Zeth has a hard exterior and his emotions are as impenetrable as a steel wall. He loves kink. Yes you read it right, he loves his kink. He carries around a black duffle full of mysterious things and you know when he pulls that duffel out that it's gonna get pretty steamy. There is also a whole cast of side characters that play in important role in the story but the best one has to be Michael. This man, one word: LOYAL. I need my own personal Michael, and Zeth of course.

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions. There is violence and death and it's not all rays of sunshine. However the light in this book is Zeth and Sloane. Their relationship is one to aspire to. They complement each other so well and accept each other for who they are. So many books these days focus on one person trying to change the other but that's not the case here. I guess what makes this one of my favorite books is that even after finding solace and love with each other Zeth is still loves his kink and Sloane is still that strong woman.

It's my first book from Callie Hart but it won't be my last. I would recommend this book to anyone who's looking for some action, an alpha male lead and a strong willed woman who will knock him off his feet.
