Human Trafficking: One of the most prolific and profitable businesses in the world and growing every day. But that’s only in third world countries, right?
Isabella Donnelly felt safe in her middle-class Colorado neighborhood until human traffickers drugged and abducted her. After being betrayed by a “friend,” she’s transported across state lines to Virginia to be sold into slavery or worse. With the clock ticking she manages to escape and is rescued by skeptical, but staggeringly handsome detective, Wyatt Bowman. After what’s happened she’s slow to trust anyone. Can she trust him?

Wyatt Bowman, with nothing-gets-past-him blue eyes, isn’t convinced her horrific story is true but the lawman in him demands an investigation. Aware of their immediate attraction and the heat burning between them, he doesn’t want to risk her safety but needs her help to carry out the sting operation. Can he keep her from harm?

The Deadly Series

Tory knocked then opened Sue's front door, not waiting for an answer. "Sue, I'm here." 


"I'm in the kitchen. Come on in and have a seat."


"Hi," Tory said as she threw her purse on the couch on her way to the homey kitchen of the small, two-story log cabin, found a seat at the table, and made herself comfortable.


"Boy, that was quick. You must have been halfway here when you called. Why aren't you at work?"


"I'm having a super bad day, so Trevor gave me the day off to enjoy my misery and get out of his way. I went home for a while, but couldn't stand the four walls closing in on me. I had to get out of the house."


"I'm going out to dinner with Matt tonight."


"Oh. I didn't realize you two had set something up so quickly. You do know he's married, right?"
