he has to Carli, and it’s one he can’t let her or Ian know

so sure she can handle being stashed away with these two
inimitable men to watch over her. She realizes now how much
danger she’s in, but even that’s not enough to stop her from
reacting to them. She’s scared to her bones, but fascinated,
too. Attracted. A precarious circumstance at its best. An

through each of them, heartbreaking truths will be revealed
