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

"I have to get out of here." She scooted to the edge of the bed. "They took my cell phone and my purse. I have nothing but the clothes on my back but I have to get out of here. Oh my God. Amy. What happened to her? We have to try and find her. I promised her I'd send help." Tears trickled down her cheeks and she brushed them away, wiping her hands on her jeans.


"Another member of my team has already been notified and is on the case. They're probably tracking her right now. They'll find her." He reached his hand out to her. "Okay, let's go. Give me your hand." 


When she placed her hand in his he startled at the jolt that coursed through his body, similar to a shock from an electrical outlet. He stared into her green eyes while he pulled her off the bed, and then continued to hold her hand. She was short, compared to his six-foot frame, probably no more then five three or four but with curves in all the right places.
