Talia

From the moment I saw him I knew I was facing evil. The man who bought me was cold hearted, sadistic, and abusive. All I had left was to live through the end of my five-year contract. When hope shone through in the form of a rugged and mysterious bodyguard who was hired to keep me locked up in Miles Carter's estate, it was hard to believe the turn my life had taken. Leo Rand wasn't there just to work for my future husband. He was there to rescue me from my living nightmare.

When my employer's wife expressed concern for her missing best friend, I never imagined my search would lead me to Miles Carter's doorstep. He was a man with no regard for human life and I knew I had to save the woman he had in his grasp. My plan was straightforward - to return Talia Crawford to her beloved best friend. Fate had other plans. As I looked into Talia's eyes, I discovered a kindred spirit whose desires matched my own. Her body called to mine and I couldn't let her go.

The only question that remained was if we would survive the danger that chased us and make it to the happily ever after we hoped for.
