“My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect.
Then it all changed.
I was sold.”
Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility.
For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.
But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.
Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?
Prologue:
Three little
words.
If
anyone asked what I was most afraid of, what terrified me, stole my breath, and
made my life flicker before my eyes, I would say three little words.
How
could my perfect life plummet so far into hell?
How
could my love for Brax twist so far into unfixable?
The
black musty hood over my head suffocated thoughts, and I sat with hands bound
behind my back. Twine rubbed my wrists with hungry stringed teeth, ready to
bleed me dry in this new existence.
Noise.
The
cargo door of the airplane opened and footsteps thudded toward us. My senses
were dulled, muted by the black hood; my mind ran amok with terror-filled
images. Would I be raped? Mutilated? Would I ever see Brax again?
Male
voices argued, and someone wrenched my arm upright. I flinched, crying out,
earning a fist to my belly.
Tears
streamed down my face. The first tears I shed, but definitely not the last.
This
was my new future. Fate threw me to the
bastards of Hades.
“That
one.”
My
stomach twisted, threatening to evict empty contents. Oh God.
Three
little words:
I was sold.
