Deadly Ruse

Winning the lottery was supposed to be my fresh start.
Being buried alive nearly made it my end.

I didn’t even have a chance to cash in the winning ticket before someone dug a hole in the middle of nowhere, built a make-shift coffin and buried me alive.

I fought to live.
Prayed for a quick death.

The money that was supposed to change my life couldn’t save it.

It was a hero with a wet nose and a fiercely loyal heart who rescued me. But it was his handler, Paxton Turner, who captured my heart. Irresistibly gorgeous, intense and protective, Paxton wants me—but he’s a man with secrets.

In my journey to heal, I find myself caught between love and danger. As the attraction ignites between us, I have to decide if my heart is masking what is truly in front of me—answers to who put me in that box and why.

And will I figure it out before it’s too late? Or will my nightmare become reality once more?
