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 being in the dark for so long, daylight stung her eyes. She closed them quickly, opening them slowly as she acclimated to the bright light of day. She walked hand in hand with Sam to her car where he opened the car door for her and then walked to the driver's side and got in. He backed the car up and then moved forward out to the street. 


"Where are we going now?" Lisa asked. "I need a bath really bad. I'm making myself sick."


"We're going to your house in Hickoryville, but first we'll take a quick detour and stop at a motel and get you cleaned up. Then the ride will be much more comfortable for both of us. Okay?"


"Great. How did you find me, Sam? Did you find Autumn, too?" Lisa asked as she ran her fingers through her dirty, matted hair.
