LOGINMia gasped as he slowly ran the tip of his finger up and down the length of her pussy; she was so primed for him, her hips jerked and a spasm inside of her made her moan. “Nick, now. Please… I can’t wait.” “Me neither, Mia. I want to be inside you. You’re going to feel amazing, I just know it.” **** Nick Spencer’s life is effortless: strong drinks, stronger flirtation, and women who leave before sunrise. No promises. No regrets. No complications. He likes it that way... until Mia Ferris walks into his bar and blows his carefully detached world apart. Mia is a writer with a cause and a dangerous amount of optimism. When a night out turns terrifying, Nick becomes her unexpected savior: bringing her home, giving her safety, and discovering that this smart, brave woman gets under his skin in ways no one ever has. Attraction was never part of the plan. Then Mia’s latest book drags her deep into the brutal underworld of sex trafficking, where good intentions don’t protect you – and trust can be lethal. When she disappears into a nightmare of betrayal and fear, Nick has one chance to reach her. But saving Mia may cost Nick everything... including her faith in him, and his belief that love was never worth the risk.
View MoreJake Weston looked at Nick. He was watching Mia and Julie through the window, his face hard and set. Jake knew that expression well: he was sure it had been on his face when Julie had told him about her childhood, and when Vicky’s ex-husband had hurt Julie so badly. He had seen it on Phil’s face in the hospital as he waited for Vicky to come to after a beating that had damn near killed her. It was the look of a man on the verge of losing it.“Can I give you some advice?” Jake asked.Nick’s eyes jerked to his face. “Uh. Sure.”“Things happen to the women in our lives. Bad things, things we have no control over, no matter how much we want to have some control. And when those things happen to them? It makes us furious… like completely fucking enraged. I get that, Nick.”Nick nodded.“But when we get that angry – it makes us unpredictable and volatile and hard. And it scares them, you know. Scares our women. It makes them think twice about being able to talk to us and lean on us. They fee
Three weeks later“I don’t know, Nick.” Mia shook her head. “I’m not sure about this.”He took her hands. “It’s a beautiful spot, Mia. Quiet and peaceful. Jake says that lots of people have found it healing.”“Who’s Jake?”“We went to the same high school, played on the same football team. He was a couple of years ahead of me, but we stayed in touch. He works at a ranch and hotel.”“Where is this place?” she asked reluctantly. "Far away?"“At the foot of the Rockies, about three hours from here. Jake’s girlfriend is the owner and she’s already booked us a cabin for a week.”“I don't know, Nick. This sounds expensive.”“You let me take care of that, babe. OK?”She was silent.“You’ll rest and sleep and get stronger, Mia. Maybe if you get a change of scenery, you’ll even start to write again.” He smiled. “Maybe that literary fiction novel you’ve been thinking about writing for the past four years.” “You think so?”“I hope so.”“And we’ll – we’ll be in separate rooms?”“As long as you w
Katie put on her coat and boots, gathered up her stuff, hoping to God that she had guessed right. Katie was still furious at Nick – she’d cheerfully kick his ass from one side of the apartment to the other, his superior size and strength be damned – and in Katie’s personal experience, men were useless assholes. She, Reena and Maggie had been with Mia through everything: Tom’s arrest and the cops saving all those kids and the investigation. The ladies had fed Mia, gotten her dressed in the morning, made sure she was sleeping for about three hours a night. They'd talked to her, watched movies, helped her do some online clothes shopping.But despite their best efforts and all their love, Katie knew that Mia needed something that only Nick could give her, and that made him important. Essential, even. Mia needed him there with her, needed to hear that he was sorry, needed to be held in his arms. And now here he was, his arms wide open. It amazed Katie to think this after what Nick had sai
Adam shook his head. “OK, look. This isn’t about us, and us fighting isn't going to help the people we care about. In the end, this is about Mia and what she needs. If you think seeing Nick will help, I’ll tell him.”“And you think he’ll come?”“Yeah. He will.” Adam thought about Nick’s face recently, broken and hard and tight. “I know you don’t believe it, but he loves her, Katie. He’ll do whatever he can to make sure she’s OK.”She nodded as relief washed over her. “Can he come tonight around seven?”“I’ll make sure of it.” His voice was a low, sexy growl, and Katie suddenly knew that this man's word was his bond. That Nick was going to be there at seven on the dot. "Leave it with me."****Katie answered Mia’s door, and her eyes widened when she saw Nick standing there. In an instant, she knew that Adam was right to be worried about him. In just a few weeks, Nick had shrunk somehow. He looked physically smaller and emotionally defeated, his confidence and control were gone. He look
