Eliminating rival criminals has made me wealthy and quelled my thirst for vengeance, but I have rules: I don’t kill the innocent.To keep Daisy alive, I have only … kill the innocent.
To keep Daisy alive, I have only one choice: take her captive and hide her in my dungeon. To save her, I must learn her secrets. She’s buried her past, and I have to know why. Who is she? Why does she look familiar? How did she become so irresistibly feisty? Why isn’t she more afraid of me?

“The Agency taught me to survive – and I will.”
DAISY
My life was a mess long before I stood up to the infamous Burke crime family, but I don’t regret it, not even when their hired gun comes for me. When Frost breaks into my home, I expect to die – not to be imprisoned without any hope of escape, at his mercy and stripped of my dignity.
He punishes my resistance with cruelty and humiliation, but I can’t give in. I won’t accept my fate. I’m not defenseless – and I have friends. The women of the Agency prepared me for the worst. They’re out there, and they’ll find me – if they discover I’m missing in time. I can’t count on it – I must fight for my life, no matter how I feel about Frost.
He’s caring and kind for a sadistic killer, with heart-stopping looks and a godlike physique. I can’t ignore my body’s primal response to being owned by him. He infuriates me and excites me, stoking my endless carnal passion. And when he teaches me to fight, he reminds me who I really am: a conqueror.
I’ll find a way out of here. I’m not afraid of anyone, and Frost’s making me more dangerous every day. We will face a cunning enemy, but together we are unstoppable…

This book has some great twists, turns, drama, and Frost is one dark, scary dude!! Daisy is a strong, resilient woman. I loved both these characters. This is a fast, well paced, sexy, dark read. Well done Sansa Rayne!!
I am voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader Copy of this book
This is book 4 in a series but I read it as a stand-alone.
The story is about Daisy a woman who gets mixed up with a bad guy and Frost was sent to fix the situation with her. But in reality Daisy has know idea in what mess she finds herself in. The story is about enemies to lovers. The book is hot and steamy and has dark themes about kidnapping and some human trafficking, there was of course some very hot sexy and some action packed scenes. The story gets you hooked from the first page, I really enjoyed the story.
Will have to go back and read the previous books from this series. Can’t wait to read another book from this new author to me.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.

Holy wow this book is amazing. Dark, gritty and dirty and with so much going on. I devoured this book in a day and did not want it to end. I don’t think this book is as dark as some of her other’s but there are still some dark themes that might disturb some people who have triggers. These are characters that you discover more and more about who they really are as you read the book. They are explosive together. You get to see them develop as their romance does. I so do not want to give anything away about this book. As I was doing this review is the first time i have read the description of the book. I went in blind. I know that Sansa Rayne is a must read author for me and that I do not miss her books. I so can not wait to see what she gives us next. Amazing job and an absolutely amazing book.
“You don’t want to die, Daisy, and I don’t want to kill you. But you will submit to me.”
This was my first read of Sansa’s work and I am a fan! You know those books that are so uniquely written that its a different kind of reading experience altogether? Thats what Deadly was for me! Of course it follows the same model that many others do, but the way she added her own style is what turned it into an actual adventure. It was hard to put down…..it was what I like to call book crack and I am addicted.
Told from multiple POVs, this is another installment in the Agency series but can 100% be read easily as a standalone. I haven’t read any of the other books and never had an issue with following along. It is a dark romance and contains some very sexually explicit scenes as well as other trigger subjects, so proceed with caution if you are sensitive to such situations. However, if you give this book a chance it is worth every bit of uncomfortableness that some events may cause.
Deadly introduces us to Daisy (member of the Agency), a pretty girl with a past she keeps hidden thats just trying to make a life for herself. One event changes the course of her life forever. She finds herself in a sex dungeon owned by the beautiful and dangerous Frost. He wants to make her his submissive pet, she wants to gouge his eyes out and escape. He’s protecting her from his boss, a crime family that makes their fortune in sex slaves. But who is going to save the sexy assassin from falling for his captive? The more time these two spend together, the more plans change. Has Frost finally found the one woman who can accept him and challenge him?
Their story ends with a HEA, no cliffhangers or questions hanging in the air. By the end of this book, you will fully understand just how perfectly the title fits their love story.
“She’s got damage, and she’s a hellcat, but she’s my kind of freak.”
Daisy is my kind of heroine. She is a spitfire, both sassy and hilarious…..even her inner thought process is funny to read through. She is smart enough to not cause herself unneccessary hardships, but not so docile that you want to roll your eyes. Shes a freak, and she learns to embrace it the more shes in Frost’s dungeon. He may be the most dangerous assassin in the city, but shes pretty dangerous in her own right. I absolutely loved this heroine. The way she is written, the way she is so relatable in how her inner dialogue goes along. She is easily one of my favorite heroines ever.
“Frost isn’t a person – he’s death. He’s killing me more slowly than his other victims, but maybe he should get on with it.”
Frost is quite possibly the most likeable anti-hero I’ve read about recently. Sure, he has certain ways that are unconventional and hes a killer….but he is more of a vigilante than a cold blooded murderer. I mean he holds Daisy captive, but is original intentions aren’t horrible. Plus hes beautiful and very well endowed, and he builds Daisy up instead of beating her down. He is one thats honestly hard to hate, and he has his own funny moments as well. Smart and calculating, I’m glad that he is able to use his talents for good. And the fact that he recognizes that he isn’t necessarily a “good guy” yet still tries to maintain a moral compass, just adds to the things that make him an easy add on my book boyfriend list.
“I’ve had women who were beautiful, who were sweet….I’ve known eager submissives and perverted freaks…but no one has ever challenged me the way you do. I want to satisfy your needs as much as you fulfill mine.”
These two together? Their chemistry is intense and scorching hot. Not only in the bedroom (or dungeon), but just the way they challenge each other at every turn. He wants her to reach her potential, she wants him to recognize he can do good. You know when two people were just made for each other? Well these two are written as the perfect pair. They are stronger together, providing for each others unique needs and knowing those needs without the other expressing it. Definitely rooted for these two!
All in all, this is a must read! It kept me on the edge of my seat and eagerly turning page after page while getting completely submerged into the Agency universe. It was so intense and exciting, the action at times made me forget it was a romance overall….the plot was that well developed and written. It could be a movie, and keep your eyes on the screen until the very end.
If you like dark romance that also has an interesting and suspenseful plot outside of the romance and sex, this book will be a winner for you! The twists are surprising and well spaced out, the ups and downs will have your emotions all over the place. This is one ride you want to take, trust me! Sansa deserves a big round of applause for this one!
I voluntarily read and reviewed the advanced ARC copy of this book. Any review posted is my honest opinion and feedback without any influence or compensation from the author.
Action packed storyline with plenty of suspense danger and darkness that at times is heartbreaking. This is the type of story that has your emotions pulled in many directions, as these characters develop and grow they take you on a journey that you find yourself torn between hating loving and a little hopeful for all involved.
A highly recommended read.
I’ve come four books into this series and just WOW!!! This can be read as a stand alone but I’m telling you right now, I’m immediately getting books one through three so I can gather all the beginnings of what is an epic storyline. Frost, an assassin with morals, and Daisy with her own secrets are a powerful combination with a chemistry that shouldn’t even be there within the circumstances. What Sansa Rayne took me through on this journey is dark, twisted, chemistry induced, and POWERFUL. This is a five star review for sure.
Trying to catch my breathe….WOW! This story has it ALL and then some! Deadly is the fourth book in The Agency series, and it can be read as a standalone dark romance. The suspense, intrigue and mystery continue throughout, the sexual scenes are HOT, and there are BDSM elements.
Daisy has a hidden past, she is trying to stay inconspicuous while starting a new life and it isn’t going well for her. To make matters worse, as she is working at her job, as a bartender, she defends a woman who is about to be drugged by Randell, the son of Rainer who is despicable. They call upon Frost, their hired assassin to kidnap and deal with Daisy. Business as usual, right? Frost is a sexy, strong Alpha male, who always gets his victims to tell him what he wants to know that is until he meets Daisy.
Sansa Rayne is an amazing, talented author and the plot takes off with twists and turns from page one and the chemistry between Daisy and Frost is electric. They start off in dire circumstances – Frost realizes that Daisy may be an innocent and he wants to know more. They start to learn about each other, understand each other and themselves and start to see how they fit together and we see their growth in accepting who they are throughout the story. Sansa Rayne has the ability to help her readers realize that it is good to be open and aware of ourselves and accept who we are. I could write more but, it’s time for you to pick up the book and enjoy!!! This is the first book that I have read from Sansa Rayne and it will NOT be the last!!

Dark & intense thrill-ride of a story
—>>> Daisy’s life had already started to slide downhill, but right after doing a good deed at the bar where she works, Daisy soon finds she is the subject of unwanted attention in the form of a killer sniffing around for details of the encounter – and finds herself kidnapped for not having minded her own business. Now in the hands of Frost and at his mercy in every way, this feisty woman soon learns what it means to be Frost’s pet. However, there is much more than meets the eye with her, and Frost is instantly intrigued and reacts on his gut instinct, thrown off balance by her. Dark & intense thrill-ride of a story – Daisy and Frost may be one of my favorite couples yet brought to life by this author!
This is book 4 of the Agency Series, and it is excellent. There is no need to read the previous books, although it would give you a slightly better background.
Frost is an assassin with a strong inner sense of morals. Frost works for a wealthy crime boss, who admires his initiative in eliminating corrupted, evil men. Daisy is a young woman living incognito due to her family’s past.
Due to a stupid, thoughtless encounter at a bar, Daisy is captured by Frost and brought to his home. He does not kill innocent women or children; so what will he do? Frost wants answers and obedience, which Daisy is loath to provide. Not a problem as Frost provides punishments and incentives to obtain her cooperation. But, will she?
For me, this is a fascinating story of conflicting emotions: good vs. bad, killer vs. savior, punishment vs. reward, ignorance vs. skills, failure vs. success, capture vs. release, terror vs. ecstasy, fear vs. hope. I really enjoyed the characters, the plot and the dominant/submissive interplay. This book is INTENSELY HOT!
Not many authors can write truly dark like Sansa Rayne. I’ve read quite a bit of her books and with each one I enjoy her writing and her characters more and more. Frost was not easy to like but he was also impossible not to like. He was deprived in his own right but also completely kind which I know is hard to imagine but you will understand if you read this. And Daisy was such a strong, incredible heroine who no matter what is thrown her way doesn’t cower and never backs down and I loved her for it!!
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book
This is an enthralling romance with some dark undertones & I enjoyed reading it. The plot is well-thought out and written with some suspenseful events & occurrences. The characters are unique & well-developed with complex personalities which results in verbal and/or physical confrontations, at times they entwined fairly well with each other, and reacted with varying emotions to the situations they found themselves in.
There is: a young woman (Daisy) with a hidden past defends a woman from the unwanted attention of a creep only to attract the attention of a despicable man (Rainier) & his even more despicable son (Randell) & they call in their reliable assassin (Frost) who promptly takes her captive, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, human trafficking, torture, danger, threats, enemies, conflict, violence, murder, attractions, BDSM, dubious consent, domination/submission, physical torture, devious plans, manipulations, attempted assault, guns blazing, law enforcement, FBI, compromises, contentment, explicit sexual scenes & a very interesting epilogue. I would recommend this dark romance to people who enjoy reading this genre.
This author is new to me and I’m so glad I found her. Deadly was amazing, thrilling, drama, intense. Daisy, while working as a bar tender, observed a guy slip a pill in a lady’s drink when said lady went to the bathroom. It all takes off from there and talk about rollercoasters! WOW. It’s a non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end. Absolutely loved this story – so very well written and executed. Really loved the depth the author went into with the characters. Couldn’t put it down. I received an ARC and voluntarily left an honest review. Can’t wait for the next one!!
loved this book it was dark and twisted and so very well written the main characters were well developed and oh so enjoyable to read. It was an amazing journey from start to finish and I couldn’t wait to finish it even though I wanted it to never end. A must read book if you want something dark and delightfully hot
Well damn! Sansa Rayne did it again! Daisy and Frost’s story was dark and delicious, with a side of cruelty, death, sadistic torture and mayhem! Daisy is another member The Agency helps out after her crime family goes down, only to need them again when her life is placed in jeopardy! Fast paced, action pack and depravity filled! Great dark read!
HEARTPOUNDING Page Turner!
Holy heck what an amazing read that gets under you skin and fills you with excitement chills and endless thrills throughout the gripping storyline that I couldn’t put down as the crazy tormented drama hits with a powerful impact pulling at my emotions and sending my heart pounding with an urgent need to get to the end as fast as my surroundings would allow. So Darn good and so darn dark I loved this brilliantly written read and would not hesitate recommending it to others.
Dark And Deadly
Overall this has a great storyline. It is definitely dark, sometimes more dark than I prefer. However, great writing. The author did a great job making the reader feel like they were right there. I received an advanced copy for my honest and voluntary review.
I read this book in a few hours. I could not put it down. It had me spellbound wondering what was going to happen next and more than a little hot. This book has a student/bartender, Daisy having a bad day that keeps getting worse ending with her catching a jerk trying to drug a girl’s drink and punching him in the nose. That jerk happens to be the son of a mob boss and he doesn’t take it very well. In fact he wants her dead. The assassin for their mob is Frost. He is tasked with finding what he can on her. He ends up kidnapping her and keeping her in his well stocked dungeon. Things get hot and heavy and these two start to have feelings for each other. He knows she’s hiding something and things at work are going in directions he never agreed to regarding sex trafficking. This is my first time reading this author and I can’t wait to see what else she’s written.
I loved this Dark, Steamy Thriller! Daisy works at a bar and when she sees him put something in a girl’s drink, she calls him out on it and ends up punching him in the face. Little did she know who she was getting involved with. Daisy has upset the Burke family and embarrassed Randall, not to mention she took a picture of him. Frost is sent in to clean things up no matter how it must be done. When Frost meets Daisy, she looks familiar and he wants to discover more about her, he ends up taking her. Soon sparks are flying between them and Frost learns more about Daisy and her involvement in the agency. Will they work together to bring the Burkes and their clientele down? Fast-paced read with loads of drama and suspense, the story has plenty of twists and turns and the chemistry between Daisy and Frost is off the charts hot. I loved it!

Another fantastic story from author Sansa Rayne!
Deadly is the fourth book in The Agency series, and it can be read as a standalone dark romance. Even though this is true, many of the characters from the first three books do appear and play a part within the storyline. I do suggest that you read the books in order, but that’s because they are all fabulous. Also, it will give you a better foundation to appreciate and understand the backstories. Just know that it’s not mandatory.
I was absolutely captivated by this dark and gritty story of Frost and Daisy. I am dying to fill you in on all the juicy details, but this is one book that you need to experience yourself! So, go grab yourself a drink, and some snacks, then buckle your seatbelts and prepare yourself for an amazing ride!
