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

"Work. There's always work that consumes me and takes over my life."


"Is that what you want? Do you like that?" Lisa asked while staring at him. He had a hard time facing her.


"No, but it's something I have to do, to finish."


"So, you haven't finished it?" Lisa asked running her hands through her hair and pushing it to the other side of her head.


"That's right, but that's only short-termed. We've developed a plan, and as soon as it's implemented it will all be over, hopefully."


"I'm so happy for you," Lisa said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. 


"Why are you so angry with me? We've worked hard to get this far. I'd think you'd be happy to hear it's about over."


"What's over? Us? Our relationship? You've gotten what you came here for, haven't you? Otherwise we never would have connected again, would we?" Her face was red with fury, hands fisted at her waist, staring at his beautiful eyes.
