Romantic Suspense
He’s empty,
inhuman, dishonest, and cruel.
She’s never
wanted anyone more.
Sydney has lived
in fear for eight years after freelance assassin, Merc, failed to rescue her
from a cult-like militia group. Left in the hands of a sadistic man, she did
whatever it took to survive. But Merc’s last words gave her hope. Hope he’d be
back to finish the job.
After Merc is
betrayed by her father, Sydney becomes his target. He wields sex, drugs, lies,
and love like weapons. Merc knows just what to do with a fearful girl like
Sydney. He’s in control. He’s always in control.
But Sydney
Channing is not what she appears. And Merc’s only redeeming act—the very one
that made Sydney’s life a living hell—might just be his worst mistake yet.

Excerpt:
I think this is it for me.
“What?” Case is next to me. I’m in bed with him. I can feel his
bare chest up against my feverish back. His arms tighten around me as he
repositions. I want to open my eyes and see if we’re in the crow’s nest room or
some other room, but I can’t quite do that yet.
“Sydney?”
I hope we’re in the crow’s nest. And it’s daylight still, so maybe
I only lost a few hours? I really like it up here. It feels good to be tall,
looking down on things, instead of small, always looking up. It feels like a
watchtower. A place where you can see the bad shit coming from a distance and
prepare.
“Syd,” he says, a little softer now. “I didn’t want to drug you
again, but you were hysterical. It was the only way I could calm you down. I
won’t do it again, but I need you to help me out here. OK? Can you do that?”
Help him out. I bet. I tuck my head into the soft pillow and will
myself not to cry. “Just be someone else, you say?” I croak out the words. My
mouth feels like it’s filled with cotton. How many times have I been drugged
since he’s had me? “But all I’ve ever done is be someone else. I don’t even
live in the real world anymore. I can’t imagine any more versions of myself,
Case. I have tried so many times. I have lived in my head for days on end. I
have refused to see the truth in hopes those memories would just fade away. I
have been the good girl, the bad girl, the defiant girl, the sexy girl, the
compliant girl. And it gets me nowhere.”
I turn my body so I can see his face when I open my eyes. We are
in the crow’s nest, and that just makes me sad. Because no matter how nice this
place is, he’s still the guy who left me to die. And I don’t know what he’s
doing right now. Or why he’s being nice. Or why I’m even still alive.
But I know none of that is because he sees me. He doesn’t
see me. He says I need to change into someone else. And that’s all they’ve ever
told me. Change into someone else. Split me in half, that’s what they’ve done.
But maybe it’s not just half. Maybe I’ve been quartered, like an elk when we hunt
it down and kill it and then have to carry it back to camp in pieces.
“I am not the rabbit."
