Regan Porter never knew why she's been kidnapped by out of her apartment in Minneapolis and sold into sexual slavery. All she knows is that she wants to survive and escape, but she assumed that she was on her own, captive in a Rio brothel, with no one coming for her. So when a man turns up and buys her, she assumes he's just another customer, but she's wrong. Daniel Hays has been searching years for his sister among the brothels in the world, never giving up of finding her, becoming a professional assassin so he could be part of the underworld where his sister has disappeared into. When the trail leads to Rio de Janiero, he promises to rescue Regan as well. But instead of the broken, abused girl he expects, Regan surprises him. Her spirit and body may have been battered, but Regan refuses to break. She also refuses to be parted from Daniel, insisting that she can help him find his sister. She knows she should fear him, but instead, he's the only one she feels safe with. But safety is an illusion in this shadowy world of human trafficking where human lives are expendable.
From the bestselling authors of Last Hit comes the next in the steamy series that explores the exquisite power of our darkest passions . . .
Regan- I never really knew what misery was until the day I was kidnapped and sold for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Two months later, I'm at a brothel in Rio when I meet Daniel Hays. He says he's here to save me, but can I trust him? All I know of him are his sarcastic retorts and his tendency to solve every dispute with his gun. He's also the only safe thing in my world, and I know it's wrong to fall in love with him, but I can't seem to help myself. He says he'll protect me until his last breath, but I don't know if I should believe him or even if I can.
Daniel- For the last eighteen months, one goal has dictated every action I've taken. I've left the Army, turned paid hit man, and befriended criminals all across the globe to find my kidnapped sister. In every brothel I raid and every human trafficking truck I stop, I hope the next face I find is my sister's. In a hidden brothel in Rio, I find Regan Porter, bruised but not broken, and still sane despite her weeks in captivity. I should leave her behind or send her home, because the last thing either of us needs right now is to get involved. But with every passing minute, I find I'm less able to let her go.
