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

Dave walked with Michael Carr to the door of the office building surrounded by yellow tape. 


"Chief Carr, do you mind if I take a look at the crime scene?" He pulled out his badge for a reminder. "I'd like to help in the investigation any way I can, if that's okay with you."


"Sure, we can use all the help we can get before I call in the State then the Feds. Oh, wait, you are the Feds." Chief Carr smiled. "You know the drill then. Just don't get in the way of the forensics team or the funeral director."


Dave entered the office and looked around. Then he went to the bathroom door. He took some notes on a notepad he seemed to never be without and then went to find the Chief.


"Chief? I've got some info to share when you're ready." Dave put his tablet and pen in his jacket pocket.


"Why don't you help Tory get home and meet me in my office first thing in the morning? We can compare notes and take a look at the murder book."
