Kidnapped.
Collared and kept as a slave for two months.

Yet she can’t help being drawn to him, and soon discovers his identity, which makes her wonder what he wants with a woman like her.
Isaac is a man on a mission, and he’ll do whatever it takes to claim Simone as his own, forever.

What inspired you to write your book?
I wanted to write something that was a little…on the darker side of romance; Simone and Isaac came to me at the perfect time, and I love their story of light & redemption!
Here is a short sample from the book:
“You came back.”
“I said I would, didn’t I?” He lifts a brow with his response, staying right where he’s at, and I breathe a little easier knowing he’s not trying to intimidate me. Instead, he studies me, his eyes dropping to my feet before sliding up my body in the same slow, deliberate manner he used last week, and he smiles as he meets my gaze. “Much better.”
“Thanks. I um…I’m glad you came back. I wanted to thank you. It was very kind and you didn’t have to—”
“Simone.” Hearing him cut me off by saying my name, something I forgot he knew from my name-tag, I suck in a breath, and he smiles. “Yes, I remember your name. And our world could do with a bit more kindness, don’t you agree?”
Opening my mouth to agree, I’m stopped short by the sudden gust of cold wind, which has me shivering and realizing I’m standing on the sidewalk freezing my ass off.
“I’ve gotta go,” I say, nodding in the direction I’m facing. “It’s too cold to stand here to talk and I have to get home to my—” Stopping short of admitting I have a child, I give him a smile, and say, “Thanks again.”
His lips compress as he realizes I’m not going to finish my previous sentence, then proffers his arm as he steps closer. “Let me walk with you. You should not be walking home in the dark all alone.” When I hesitate in taking it, he lets out a soft laugh. “You could tell me no, but then I will just follow you anyway to make sure you get there safely. So, stop overthinking it, take my arm, and we can get you out of this cold.”
In my head I’m thinking only an idiot would take his arm. Only an idiot would trust a man she doesn’t know, even if he gave her a huge tip for simply being kind. Even if he seems so nice and I don’t get the feeling like he wants to hurt me. But who am I kidding? I know I’m an idiot, and like he said, he would follow me anyway. I don’t have any other way to get home and my babysitter is a nice middle-aged woman who watches my son for free, but relies on me getting home by a certain time. And something tells me he’s an intelligent man; if he really wants to find out where I live, he would without having to walk me home to get it.
“You are smart,” he says with a chuckle, dropping his arm. “I can see your mind working. Suppose I should introduce myself if I expect you to let me walk you home. Isaac Toft.”

Family Of Strangers by Barbara Willis
What would you do if someone you loved disappeared? What would you do if you were told they’d never existed? This most awful of nightmares comes true for Eva when her closest friend, Annie, vanishes. Even Annie’s parents deny her existence.
The uncertainty of the early months of 1939 has been eclipsed. Eva’s comfortable, normal small town life becomes despairing and desperate, until a friendly hand reaches out to her. The elderly and eccentric Lola shows no surprise at Eva’s tale. Neither does Gabe; young, handsome and distant. They have answers that lead to more questions, and information that leads to confusion. The pair guide Eva through a new and frightening world towards her beloved Annie. Eva is sure that her search has absorbed every part of her, until she realises how close she’s becoming to the mysterious but tender Gabe.
As Eva learns more about the hidden world now exposed to her, the depth of which seems infinite, she finds that people can be lost and all memory of them forsaken. Gabe and Lola are lost, just like Annie; but unlike Annie, no-one is looking for them to guide them home. Eva, now attached to Lola and deeply tied to Gabe, struggles to believe that nothing can be done to help them.
Eva’s search is littered with many things – doubt, discovery, love, belonging and a myriad of scary jigsaw pieces; lost friends, the giving of gifts, a library of books, a troubled conscience and a brilliant pianist. Can Eva piece it all together to see the picture or has she missed something? Does Eva find Annie? Will Gabe reveal his story and are his and Lola’s other lost friends a help or a hindrance?
And is there something crucially important that not one of them is telling Eva?

Prescribed by D.D. Parker
Emma Wells thought she had it all figured out. She went to college wanting a brand new lease on life, thinking she was going to become a doctor and make her mom proud. She just wasn’t planning on passing out her first day of volunteering at the hospital because she couldn’t handle the sight of blood.
After banging her head on the floor, she’s taken care of by Dr. Ryan Matthews, an unfairly hot specimen of a man. Even after waking up in a cloudy, post-concussion daze, she can’t take her eyes off of him and their chemistry is becoming undeniable.
Strong. Handsome. Charming.
Even that couldn’t encompass everything Ryan had to offer. There was just one problem; Emma already had a boyfriend.
One that would never let her go.
Ever.
Will Dr. Matthews still be able to prescribe Emma just what she needs or will Emma’s own demons come to threaten more than just their relationship?
**Recommended for 18+ due to sexually graphic scenes and adult language.
This is Book One in The White Coat Series (New Adult Romantic Suspense). It can be read as a stand-alone story without a cliffhanger.

Taste by Cambria Hebert
One taste is never enough…
Spencer Waller’s main purpose in life is to protect and serve. After spending years in the military, he gets a coveted spot on the Secret Service detail protecting the president. Spence doesn’t have time for women or all the work having a relationship with one requires. But just because he isn’t looking for a lady doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate a beautiful one when he sees her.
And he makes it a point to see one in particular every single day.
Elle Bond has literally chopped and fried her way to the top of the food chain. Earning a coveted position in the White House as the president’s personal chef, she figures her professional life can only get better. Her personal life, on the other hand, could use a little bit of an overhaul, and because of that, she tries to ignore the charm-dripping cookie thief every time he comes into her kitchen. After all, she knows better than anyone that just one taste of something good is never enough.
One night after work, Elle is assaulted, threatened, and given an ultimatum. She can’t go to the police, and she sure as hell can’t do what she was ordered.
But she has to. Or else.
Pale, shaken, and scared to death, Elle confides in Spence, and his protective instincts take over. Together, Elle and Spencer have to uncover a sinister plot and stop it before someone ends up dead.
