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

Dalton woke up with a numb arm and a beautiful woman beside him. He lay in the middle of his bed and, somehow, one of them had managed to cover them with a light blanket. Wonderful memories of last night clouded his mind. He smiled. The best sex he'd ever had and something he'd never forget. Elyse was a very passionate woman and knew what she wanted, when she wanted it. And how she wanted it. Not like any other woman I've ever been with, that's for sure.  


He studied her porcelain complexion while she slept, her gentle breathing the only sound in the room. She had a perfectly shaped nose and eyebrows, long eyelashes, and a square jawline. He ran a finger across her cheek to rouse her. 


"Good morning, sleepyhead." He kissed her soft cheek.  


"Morning," she murmured as she turned away from him and started to get up from the bed.  


He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down for a kiss. "We have to talk." 


She hesitated. "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
