Unbroken: The Protectors Book 12

It has been two years since Aleks Silva was rescued by his older brother from the dark underworld of sex trafficking. Every day has been a battle since then. Leaving the house, interacting with people, even deciding what to wear or what to eat are tasks that most people take for granted. But for Aleks, they're torture. Freedom and choice were once things that came at a steep price, and survival meant submitting to the whims of those who only saw him as a possession and plaything.

Until one man saw him as something more.

Known as Vaughn, his job is to ensure that secrets don't get out and the possessions he's tasked with guarding never escape to tell their story. After eight years in a world where innocent kids are exploited for depraved purposes, Vaughn has seen things that would break even the strongest man. However, meeting a young man who had to be a thousand times stronger to survive the life he was forced into as a child caused the first crack in Vaughn's carefully constructed wall.

Vaughn's only job was to keep young Aleks Silva a secret for one of the most powerful men in Chicago. But when he eliminated the threat against Aleks and set him free, he was sure their paths would never cross again. Fate had other plans.

When Aleks is suddenly abducted, he is certain he'll never see his brother and family again. But relief quickly replaces terror when a familiar face once again comes to his rescue. Aleks believes Vaughn will make everything okay again, as he did once before. However, Vaughn's answer to Aleks asking to be taken home is unexpected and comes with brutal betrayal.

The Protectors series crosses over with some of the author's other series, and it is recommended to read the books in order for the most enjoyment. If you have not read any books in the series, starting with Book 6, Atonement, is recommended. This book tells the story of Aleks's brother, Dante, and both brothers appear in each other's books, so it is helpful to know their backstories. A reading order can be found at the beginning of each book, and all the series are also bundled together in the correct reading order under the title of A Family Chosen: The Protectors and Barrettis.
