"As long as my heart beats, I'm going to keep trying to find a path back to you. Back to us."

Nero De Luca is a man caught between two worlds—the criminal empire he once thrived in and the new life he’s trying to build with Blake Wolfe. Returning to New York, Nero faces the harsh reality of his past choices, torn between the lure of the mafia and his deep desire to protect Blake. The weight of his true identity and the consequences of his actions hang heavily over him, especially as he tries to mend the broken trust between himself and Blake. Nero’s internal struggle is palpable as he navigates the dangerous waters of loyalty, love, and survival.


Blake Wolfe finds herself trapped in a life she’s spent years avoiding, forced to remain with Nero despite the deep betrayal she feels after discovering who he truly is. The man she thought she knew is revealed to be a criminal and a killer, yet the threats surrounding her leave her with little choice but to stay by his side. Blake’s attraction to Nero complicates everything, as she grapples with her feelings and the reality of being tied to a world she never wanted to be part of. Her resilience and inner strength are tested as she fights to maintain control in a situation that seems to be spiralling out of it.


“When He Takes” delves deep into the turmoil of a relationship built on shaky ground, exploring the aftermath of deception and the complexities of love in the shadow of danger. The tension between Nero and Blake is electric, as they deal with high stakes throughout the book. Their relationship is a delicate balance of trust and survival. Gabrielle Sands crafted a gripping end to this duet that keeps the stakes high and the emotions raw, leaving a lasting impression as Nero and Blake’s story unfolds.
