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

"Okay," Dalton said, once he was certain they were out of hearing distance, "we need a plan. A rock-solid plan to get to those records." 


"One of us could cause a diversion to get him out of the office while the other one gets in and gets the information," Elyse said with all seriousness. 


"Yes, there is that. But let's try to be cleverer. What other options do we have?" 


"Breaking and entering sounds pretty solid." She laughed.  


"It may be solid but it's also dangerous. I don't want to go to jail, do you?" 


Elyse shook her head. "I don't know. You come up with some ideas since you don't like any of mine."
