Recovery Road (Torpedo Ink #8) by Christine Feehan - 410 pages
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kir “Master” Vasiliev doesn’t care whether he lives or dies. He’s a burnt-out shell with no one and nothing but his motorcycle club. Whatever Torpedo Ink needs, Master will put himself in harm’s way time after time. If he doesn’t make it back, he’s certain everyone will move on just fine. Investment banker Ambrielle Moore knows her own mind, and she’s not willing to settle for anyone. So when a second-rate gangster and his thugs try to coerce her into marriage—and giving up all of her family’s money—she’s having none of it. Until they turn to cold-blooded murder. Grieving and enraged, Ambrie is ready to go scorched earth on her captors when Master shows up anticipating a damsel in distress. But Ambrie is nothing like he expected, and everything he never knew he desired.... This is a one of those series you need to read from the beginning (along with the last book in the Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart series this spun off from) to really understand how all the characters fit in. A warning about this series: all the members of the motorcycle club are Russians who were thrown into an extremely abusive (physically and sexually) "school" at a young age where they were trained to be assassins. They all have psychic talents they used to escape from the "school" and now use to rescue sexually molested children.
