Luca Diaz is gorgeous and on a path to self-destruction when his family’s business goes under—and the blame is laid at his feet. Desperate for money to pay medical bills for his mother, Luca takes a job as an escort for a coldhearted sadist who promises to break Luca down until he’s raw and
begging for mercy.
Luca knows nothing about a Master/slave dynamic and feels like he’s been thrown to the lions… one particular lion whose Goliath appearance is as frightening as his imposing demeanor. But… when the Master commands Luca to kneel at his feet and he strokes Luca’s hair, the mere touch settles Luca into a calm he’s never felt before.
Cain Goldberg is known as a cold-hearted sadist. He welcomes what others thinks about him because he has a secret and a history that he intends to keep hidden. He’s demanding about following rules in the world of BDSM, especially that of consent. But when he learns that Luca needs money, he lures him into his world of dominance and intense kink.
However, Cain is soon unnerved by the courage of this beautiful man who seems to have the ability to see right through to Cain’s soul—a quality that scares Cain like nothing before ever has.
After a week of BDSM games at a private estate can Cain’s sudden, fierce protectiveness save Luca from abduction and rape?
Saving Luca is part one of an emotional and erotic MM steamy burgeoning romance with an age gap, intense BDSM and ends with a
cliffhanger!

This is the beginning of a dark romance. Be aware of a hard triggers : dub-con, abuse and rape. This is my first Dark Romance and since it's in the BDSM life style, it was less uncomfortable (for me). {The second book helped me understand this one better and I edited my review.} This was one of my hardest read. It was gut wrenching and I couldn't stop even though I was nauseous reading some chapters, my heart squeezing so hard for Luca. This book has 4 POV, Lucas and 3 Doms wanting to be with him. Unfortunately, they don't really understand him. Luca is more complex than he seems, being a very proud submissive but at the same time having a very low self-esteem not having been valued and praised enough. Spoilers ahead. I can't review this book without but I'll try to stay surface level. After his family bakery closed, Luca needs money badly but he is too proud to accept help from his friend or from the 2 Doms whom wants him. He doesn't want any handouts and he needs to earn his keep. After starting to work as an escort for his friend Gabe, he signs a contract with a sadist, Cain. Cain is, for the most part in this book, presented as the wrong example for BDSM. He seems manipulative and doesn't have good intentions except his own satisfaction but he understand Luca better than either Gabe, Julian or Marco. He really sees Luca's needs: pain, exhibition and relishing control. This book relate the blooming relationship between a Master and his Slave. A lot of books I read before have mentions of abuse in the past but this one doesn't relates it : we live it with Luca and it is as traumatizing as it sound. We live through his physical pains and emotionals ones with him and we come out battered, bruised, broken, lost... but stronger for it. This could be akin to Stockholm syndrome if we forgot Luca's submissive nature from the beginning.
