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

After the equipment was arranged and set up properly, Bob stepped outside for a smoke while Anne cried softly on the couch.


"Anne, come help me look at Tory's photos." Dave wanted to ease her pain as well as his own by keeping them both busy. "Maybe we can find something in them that would give us a clue." He opened the package and spread the pictures out on the table. He saw images of himself at the town house the second time they met, beautiful landscapes, pictures of the azaleas out front, picturesque sunsets, parked cars along busy streets downtown, Ted's pizza parlor, Wal-Mart, the pharmacy, practically every building and person in town. Lots of people pictures. Most of the people Dave had never met and didn't know but Anne did and pointed them out to him as he made notes and attached them to the pictures.
