A Captive Situation

By Tijan

New York Times bestselling author Tijan delivers a bold romance about two people wrestling with emotional trauma, thrown into a deadly--and heated--power dynamic when the mafia comes after them both.

Every bride dreams of her wedding day.

Today was supposed to be that day for me, except it's not me marrying my college sweetheart.

My best friend is doing that. Or, well, my ex-best friend.

Instead, I'm over a thousand miles away, riding the subway in a city where lost people come to dream.

Me--I'm just hoping to distract myself from my heartbreak.

That is, until I met Jake Worthing.

Grumpy.

Hot.

A total jerk.

Did I mention hot?

Also, extremely presumptuous.

Just because I look like I'm a thought away from a total meltdown does not mean I need an ambulance.

He had the audacity to ask if I needed medical treatment.

Well, good riddance to him.

I don't ever have to see him again.

Except, well, I do when I'm taken to the police station for a total misunderstanding.

He walks in and...gah. He's the same that I remember from our first meeting.

Brooding. Still gorgeous. (The universe is not fair sometimes.)

He's stirring up emotions that I didn't know were still inside of me.

Then someone tries to shoot him and I'm a witness, and...er, how is it that I'm the one being kidnapped?

And by Jake?

Now I'm heated for a whole different reason.

If I get myself out of this captive situation, I'm going to reign down my own destruction starting with Jake Worthing.

I just have to survive first and, also, not get my heart broken. Again.
