Cage West has spent his entire life waiting for that one
special woman to turn his world upside down. As a detective with the local PD,
he fills his hours investigating criminals with little time left for much else.
When a tip comes into the office about a possible kidnapping at a suspiciously
familiar address, Cage is prepared to do whatever it takes to rescue the girl,
but when he lays eyes on sweet, innocent Tessa, a firestorm knocks him off his
feet. She needs him, and he damn sure wants her–for now, for life, forever.
Nineteen-year-old Tessa Talbot hasn't seen the outside world
in two years. Her stepfather keeps her under his thumb after the tragic death
of her mother, convinced she'll only succumb to all the sins the world has to
offer. He's kept her wildly untouched, and after years of sheltered
homeschooling, she's doubtful her life will ever look any different. That is
until one tall, dark, and devilishly handsome detective knocks on her door.
Scared to let him in, even more afraid to turn him away, Tessa
makes the decision of her life and decides to trust the man she's only just met
and leave the only world she's ever known behind. She's just praying the past
won't return to haunt her, he's just praying he can save her when it does.
Excerpt
"Can I help you?"
The saleswoman cooed.
"Just need a couple things for my girl. Something to
complement those pretty green eyes, don't you think?"
"Oh yes, we've got a few options back here that would
look lovely."
Cage wagged his eyebrows at me and nearly had me choking on
a burst of laughter. He was silly, sweet, and sexy—was there anything better?
"How about this one?" The sales clerk held up a
slinky black number with a deep vee.
"No way." Cage shook his head firmly.
"Something a little less revealing."
"Wait, I kind of like that." I fingered the short
hemline.
"Over my dead body, Tessa. Saved you once, not going to
do it again just because you want to wear that scrap-of-nothing excuse for a
dress."
"Well, this one then?" The clerk held up another
black dress, this one with a high neckline and a completely open back.
"Yes."
"No way in hell."
"Cage!" I nudged his shoulder before swiping the
dress from the woman's hands and heading for the changing rooms in back.
"Tessa." His throaty reply followed me.
I turned and cast him one last glance, the fire in my eyes
burning bright as a mischievous smile danced on my lips. I ducked into the
changing room and slid the latch on the door. I didn't love the dress—I'd seen
prettier ones just walking through—but I loved the way it made his eyes light
up.
I stepped out of the dressing room a minute later. Cage’s
eyes crawled up my skin, a wolfish fire burning in his eyes. "So help me,
God. If you think I'm going to let you leave the house in that, you're
insane."
"Really? I think it's perfect." The smile on my
lips betrayed me when I stepped out of the dressing room and did a small twirl.
"Don't you think?"
Silence hung in the space between us. After a few too-long
beats I spun, my gaze landing on his.
"Jesus, Tessa. What are you trying to do to me?"
His ocean eyes crawled my body, moving up my legs, dancing over the curves of
my breasts, and I closed my eyes in shame. Maybe he didn't like it like I'd
thought he would.
I turned and reached for the door of the dressing room,
prepared to rip the awful dress off and get out of here. I'd embarrassed
myself, and I wanted nothing more than to tuck tail and run.
"Tessa." Warm fingertips grazed the small of my
back, hovering around the curve before slinking up my spine. Goosebumps burned
through my body and heightened every aroused nerve I had. "You're so
fucking beautiful, all I can think about is slipping this dress off you. But I
don’t want to scare you, Tessa. I need
you to feel safe and wanted. I want you to feel loved."
