About this ebook
Melody Albright has survived the unthinkable.
Forced into marriage with a man three times her age—and powerful enough to crush anyone who defies him—she’s learned to hide every bruise, silence every scream, and bury every failed escape. Saving her father once cost her freedom. Now it may cost her life.
But everything changes the moment Rader Cantrel comes home.
Rader Cantrel is back to settle old debts and face old ghosts. What he doesn’t expect is Melody—no longer the shy girl with a crush, but a woman trapped in a nightmare… married to his greatest enemy.
One look in her eyes, and Rader knows the truth:
Melody isn’t safe. And she hasn’t been for a long time.
The deeper Rader digs, the more he uncovers a deadly network of lies, corruption, and long-buried secrets tied to Melody’s husband—and to his own family’s past. Exposing the truth could topple powerful men… and paint a target on Melody’s back.
To save her, Rader will break every rule he’s ever lived by.
To survive, Melody will have to trust the one man dangerous enough to set her free.
A forbidden desire. A deadly conspiracy. A final showdown that will change the Warrior Breed forever.
Perfect for fans of edge-of-your-seat danger, protective heroes, kidnapped-wife escapes, and slow-burn-to-scorching romantic suspense.
