Gray Nolan is just another happy-go-lucky college dude when his ordinary existence gets interrupted and he becomes a human trafficking statistic. Darius Quinn is a restaurant owner who has vowed never again to find himself in a situation like this. His days as a private military contractor are over. No more missions, no more risks, no more personal attachments. Yet, here he is, searching for their small town’s favorite son.
Their story begins with a brutal auction out at sea, when Darius steps out of the shadows and comes face-to-face with the broken young man he just bought.
In Gray and Darius’s fight for freedom and a future where they aren’t haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, they’ll show you heaven and hell, they’ll bring you to places like the Mojave Desert and Las Vegas, and they’ll make you laugh, cry, swoon just a little bit, and probably yell at your e-reader.
I'm often stoically silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there's so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.
Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.
I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, and geeking. There's time for hockey and cupcakes, too. But mostly, I just love to write.
Wow what a beautiful rollercoaster of a love story this book is. The first book is not the easiest read the topic is very heavy but the beauty and love that develops and grows from that is amazing. So well written.
It's a roller coaster of a book. Or rather series of books. Cliffhangers are evil, but it ends so sweetly I feel like I need to check my glucose levels.
