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

Elyse and Jolene waited patiently for Dalton to come back and tell them everything was okay. Suddenly, a large grungy glove covered Elyse's mouth. Jolene had a hand over her mouth as well. The man standing behind Jolene was huge, at least a foot taller than her and almost as wide. His biceps bulged as he held her close to him. The man behind Elyse had a firm grip around her waist and also gripped her tightly against him, disabling any fast moves or any way to getaway.  


Finally, when the men started dragging them down the boardwalk, they were protesting, kicking and flailing their arms and legs until they reached slip eight and The Ramblin' Gambler. Elyse was not getting on that boat again. She dug her heels in and refused to move. Then the guy behind her simply lifted her one step closer. She tried to turn around and face him; she wanted to pluck his eyes out.
