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

 "Hey, are you okay?" Lexi whispered as she rubbed the girls upper arm to wake her. Her eyes fluttered and finally opened. Lexi waited as she tried to focus. 


"Sshhhhh!" Lexi held her finger in front of her mouth indicating to whisper. "I'm Lexi. Who are you?" Lexi sat on the side of the bed and reached behind to help the young woman sit up. 


"I'm not quite sure. Somewhere in the woods, I guess," she glanced at the window. "How did you get here?" Lexi asked, brushing Amy's hair off her face.


"All I remember is getting in my car. There was something on the windshield. I couldn't see what it was but it was something dark and plaid, I think." 


"I remember hearing something about kidnappers who wrapped a plaid flannel shirt around the windshield wiper," Lexi said as she continued to rub Amy's upper arm.
