Trust is a four-letter word…
“Katie Porter’s writing isn’t a cheap imitation of so many erotica titles out there. It truly is something unique.” — Book Lovers, Inc.
Captain Laurence Madigan is an anomaly: a levelheaded risk-taker who learned the dark side of life in Manchester’s slums. He needed those skills to survive fourteen months as a prisoner of Firebird, a shadowy Russian cartel.
When freed, he receives less than a hero’s welcome. He’s regarded as a wild card—or possibly a double agent—by his fellow Command Force Alpha operatives. After enduring agony and degradation for CFA, he’s determined to clear his name and bring Firebird down…even if it means escaping the agency’s London facility with a very personal hostage.
Oxford-educated psychologist Gemma Calloway should fight her abductor tooth and claw, but loyalty to her old friend wins out. Isolated in a rustic hideaway, she tends his wounds and can’t help staring at his scars and prison tattoos.
Their impromptu safe house becomes a haven of uneasy trust and potent, gathering desires. As they sort present dangers from past affection, Gemma realizes she’s in over her head…and up to her heart with longing for a good man whose last reason for living could be revenge.
