Captive (Bannister)

All she wanted was an apartment… Amanda Jackson was used to toxic men. It’s all she’d ever known. And this gorgeous blonde property manager, Connor Brooks, was a walking red flag. But she needed a place to stay, and this unit sounded amazing. She’d be crazy not to look at it. For Connor, finding a mark was easy. A simple ad in the classifieds. Once they were inside, it was too late to escape. They had no way out. One look at their frightened eyes on the monitor, that’s when the housebreaking could begin. The second Connor closed the door, Amanda understood her situation. She was trapped and defenseless. Or was she? She has one card to play: make her captor fall for her before it was too late. All she wanted was an apartment. What she got was The Cage. The Cage is the first book in a dark series by Danielle Bannister, author of Girl on Fire. Because The Cage is told in dual POVs you might be torn over if this book is a horror or a romance. Please be sure to read with care and check for tropes on the author's website.

He wanted his property back… Amanda Jackson had succumbed to the fact that she’d been a captive. That she’d involuntary fallen victim to an underground market of despicable men. To protect herself, she was willing to try anything; even attempting to convince her captor that he loved her. That plan backfired. Connor Brooks didn’t show emotions with his captives. Bring them in, get them out, collect the cash, and repeat the process. Amanda, however, was different. He found himself growing attached to her. Possessive. When another man stole her from him, Connor was determined to get her back. By any means necessary. Malcolm Luxx was used to dealing with shady business practices. He ran one of his own in the art world. He drew the line at Connor’s business. When he discovered one of the women he’d taken was his high school crush, he swooped in and saved her. Or so he thought. Will the safehouse Malcolm has across the country be far enough to keep Connor and his goons from finding Amanda? Or by taking Amanda, has Malcolm just signed both of their death certificates? He wanted his property back. And he’d get her even in The Safehouse. The Safehouse is book two in a dark series by Danielle Bannister. The Cage must be read first in order to understand the events that happen in The Safehouse. The Safehouse is told in the POVs of the captor, the captive, and the rescuer’s perspectives.
