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

Lexi remembered one of the self-defense moves Luke taught her. If she could place her feet solid in the ground under her knees and lift or thrust with her hips, maybe she could knock this guy off of her. She sunk her feet into the snow and thrust forward with her hips. Her feet slid out from under her. She tried again but couldn't get her legs and feet out from under this oaf far enough to have adequate strength.


She closed her eyes after a quick glance at the cloudy sky above. Tears trickled to the ground as fear of dying filled her heart. She vowed she would visit and keep in touch with her family more if only her life would be spared.
