Summary

A young woman makes the brave decision to flee her toxic stepfather, only to be taken hostage by an escaped convict hours later, but he may just be the key to her freedom. *** After stealing money from her wealthy but controlling stepfather, Nataly Collins makes the bold decision to run away with her four-year-old sister. But as she does, she crosses paths with an escaped convict from the local penitentiary, and he plans to keep the sisters hostage until he can safely cross the Canadian border. Of course, the more Nataly spends time with this convict, the more she learns he isn’t what he appears to be despite his death-themed tattoos and intimidating stature. Soon it becomes obvious that they need each other to avoid capture. And Nataly can’t help but feel the safest she’s ever felt around him. Will she be able to fight off her emerging feelings for this dangerous criminal?

AUTHOR NOTE

SNEAK PEAK

“It’s time for bed. Scoot over,” he demands.

I huff, sitting myself up. “No. This gun conversation isn’t over.”

His jaw clenches and I swallow. Clearly he’s not used to people refusing him. Which makes sense. He’s a fucking gangster—an escaped convict.

“Move. Over.” This time he stamps his fists into the bed, meeting me eye to eye.

“No,” I reply softly and much weaker than I intend. “I’m not sleeping next to you. I hardly even know you.”

Brandon gets so close now that I feel his breath on my eyelashes, heavily scented from my mint toothpaste he borrowed.

But even though my heart is beating a million times a minute, I add, “If you want me to scoot over, you’ll have to make me.”

He dons a smirk. “I thought you’d never ask, princess.”

As his hands catch me at the waist, I stifle the urge to scream.
