Publication Date: April 15, 2015
Contemporary 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
cultlike 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.

BOOK TRAILER:
I don't want to go into details or recap the book synopsis really. This is a book you MUST go in blind. Just know that it will push your boundaries both emotionally and mentally. It isn't a typical love story BUT it is indeed a story of love, sacrifice and redemption. Of salvation through forgiveness. By and far my favorite book this year! Phenomenal!
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.”
