From Amazon:
Five years ago, First Force operative Grant Ketchum let the ballerina of his dreams dance right out of his life.
After her American adoptive parents had been killed in an automobile accident, Silja Ramsay returned to her birthplace, Russia, to take the position of the principal dancer for the Novikov Ballet Company. She was living her dreams, and although they had very little contact, Grant was proud of her.
The owner and director of the ballet company, Natalia Novikov, has a dark secret: her beloved ballet company is almost broke. Natalia has become so desperate for funds to keep the company afloat that she’s forced her dancers to prostitute themselves to financial contributors at exclusive after-show parties.
As the prima ballerina of the troupe, Silja has been exempt and kept in the dark about the parties, until a big-time American financier, who is obsessed with Silja, offers to bail the failing ballet company out and provide Natalia with everything she will ever need. His prerequisite: Silja must become his personal companion, live in his home, and fulfill his every desire.
Against her will, Silja is taken to the American’s mansion, but before she goes she manages to send a text to the only man who can save her, Grant:
HELP!
Now Grant Ketchum is on a mission to find his lost ballerina and rescue her from this powerful man’s subjugation. He will do anything to get her out alive.
If they survive, will he let her chasse out of his life again?

Wow. I’ve not read book one, but this book was great! First, it is truly a stand-alone book read. I was fine with it. When one mixes in special ops teams, USA ballerina who went to Russia to dance, and a very rich monster of a man who is ruthless beyond compare, the suspense is superb, the action dynamic, and great one liners tossed in here and there – that is the mark of a great book! A special love story that spans years, and the ruthlessness that some people are born with, as far as Mr. Crafton is concerned, plus other characters are a great fit. The only sad feeling I felt in my gut was the thought of women who are treated in a similar manner. Real life happens. My prayers go out to all real-life women who are trapped, whether they have a chip in their neck or trapped otherwise.
