My freedom was sold to pay a debt. Now, I belong to three of the most dangerous men in the city.

By day, I’m a brilliant art authenticator. By night, I’m a master forger, flying strictly under the radar to survive. But when my former boss makes a fatal mistake, I become the collateral damage. Tossed into a high-tech, inescapable gilded cage, I realize I’m no longer a free woman. I’m an asset.

The men who bought me aren't just run-of-the-mill criminals. They run the entire syndicate.

Thatcher Adler. The architect. Cold, calculating, and building a fortress designed specifically to keep me locked inside his world. Roarke Calloway. The manipulator. Charming, lethal, and determined to unspool my mind with his psychology until I willingly surrender. Garrison Hayes. The enforcer. A brutal, heavily scarred protector who guards my door and would happily burn the world down before letting another soul touch me.

They thought they bought a frightened victim. They didn't realize they acquired a weapon.

My flawless skills and brilliant intellect are the key to their empire's next massive heist. But these three dark kings don't share their prizes—except with each other. There is no rivalry here, only a unified, terrifying obsession. They want my forgery skills. They want my absolute submission. They want me.

I don't just want to survive them; I want to outsmart them. But if I play their dark game, I might just win my freedom. Or worse... I might realize I never want to leave this cage.

Taken by the Triad is a gripping, tension-filled Dark Syndicate Romance. If you love brilliant heroines who hold their own, morally grey villains, and intense psychological suspense, this book is for you.
