Captive, Mine

Lily Cross is the bargaining chip that could keep her father from testifying against Terrence Randall, a drug trafficker with a reach across North America. When her father agrees to cooperate with the prosecution, Randall's fury turns toward Lily, and she is placed under federal protection and enrolled in the Witness Protection Program. She knows what relocation will require, but nothing prepares her for the man assigned to guard her.

Lake Freeman is a former Navy SEAL who now works as a hired protector. Escorting Lily is supposed to be one more paid job, until a better offer comes along. He feels no loyalty to the person he is guarding, since she belongs to the same organization that already cost him dearly, and he never expected to feel anything toward her. When he is forced into a choice he never imagined making, the assignment becomes a question of staying alive together. Keeping Lily safe means getting her to follow his lead, because he cannot protect her if she refuses to listen. His protectiveness slides into something darker, a hunger to dominate and possess, and he decides he will keep her safe and make her his as well.
