A novel by

 
 
She was never supposed to be theirs.

June Callahan is the daughter of the most powerful man in town, and the kind of girl nobody touches.

Andreas Cruz takes her anyway.

Not because he’s reckless.
Because he’s desperate.


Callahan has already stripped Andreas of everything that mattered — his job, his future, his mother''s home — and buried it all under legal notices and polished lies. So Andreas and his brother Mateo do the only thing left that might force a man like Callahan to feel something:

They steal his daughter.

But June doesn’t break.
She watches.
She calculates.


And she knows something the brothers don’t: Her father will not pay to get her back.
He will pay to make sure they never existed.


As the brothers run deeper into the dark with a hostage who understands exactly how monsters move, they uncover the system behind Callahan’s empire — a hidden machine built on surveillance, disappearances, and quiet violence. And once they see it, there is no going back.

Now they’re trapped on the back roads of a town already owned by the man hunting them, pursued by people who don’t need sirens, don’t leave witnesses, and don’t stop until the job is finished.

Taking June is a dark, addictive thriller about loyalty, corruption, revenge, and the moment desperation turns into war.

Perfect for readers who love high-stakes kidnapping thrillers, corrupt small towns where wealth is law, smart dangerous heroines, escalating dread, and family loyalty pushed past the point of no return.

➡️ Buy now and discover what the Cruz brothers learn too late: in Callahan’s town, nothing stays hidden, and nobody gets away clean.
