Unarmed: A Dark Forced Proximity Romance (The Larkin Cohort)

By Joss Andersen

UFC fighter Baylee Mishra killed her best friend in the cage on national television. Six weeks later, she walked into the Larkin Institute.

When the federal court gave Baylee's lawyers two options: prison or a behavioral research program in the Montana backcountry, they took the one with better odds. The Larkin Institute promises rehabilitation. What it delivers is a locked program where phones are confiscated at the gate and the correction is entirely physical.

Dr. Aaron Ikeda runs Baylee's case. He pulled her file, brought her to Montana, and claimed her before anyone else could touch her. His obsession is now the only thing the Institute can't control.

The Larkin Institute wants a confession. Aaron wants her total and complete surrender... to him.

Baylee doesn't have a third option.

UNARMED is Book 2 of The Larkin Cohort, a dark institutional romance series where every woman who enters is someone the world would miss. That's exactly why they were chosen.
