Here we go on another acknowledgements. The part where I freak out because I KNOW I’m going to forget someone. If that person is you, I love you.
Thank you so much to: Jenny from Editing4Indies and Kayla The Bibliophile for doing an amazing editing job and squeezing me in late notice.
Thanks to my amazing beta readers: Kristi, Mandi, Melissa, Skye, Ker, Kiki, Tamicka, and Yaya. Your incredible feedback made this book shine.
Thanks to the incredible duo who I adore, Aussie Lisa and NinaAfterDark. I don’t know what I would’ve done without your support and you reading the first edition of Jethro and Nila.
Thanks so much to Rachel, Skye, Lyra, Lili, and too many other amazing people to mention who talk to me on a daily basis, share their ups and downs, and make me feel less insane as a writer.
Thanks to Nadine for running my street team and being such a huge supporter.
Thank you so much to the amazing Ari from Cover it Designs for my kick ass covers. I can’t wait to reveal the remaining ones for this series.
Thank you to The Rock Stars of Romance for hosting the review and blog tour. You guys had to put up with me in many ways so I’m very grateful.
Thank you to Love Between the Sheets for putting up with my nightmarish double bookings and lack of coordination.
Thank you to my readers who just make me feel so loved and appreciated in all things that I write.
Thank you to hubby for cooking me dinner, keeping me alive, and overlooking the fact I now work entirely in pyjamas.
And finally, thank you universe for making my dreams come true.

This book enticed & enthralled me completely. Pepper's stories are like a fine piece of art. They are profound, unique, raw and beautiful—Kristina, Amazon Review
Pepper Winters has a ridiculous level of talent, and I'm in awe of how deeply she delves into her characters. There are not enough stars, seriously—K Dawn, Amazon Reviewer

She has a secret.
I'm complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can't face. Just complicated.
I thought my life couldn't get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn't met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd have to do to get free.
He has a secret.
I've never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want.
I didn't have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I'd tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go.
Secrets destroy them.

A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to grief, slavery, and nonconsensual sex. A story about finding love in the strangest of places, a will of iron that grows from necessity, and forgiveness that may not be enough.
“My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect.
Then it all changed.
I was sold.”
Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility.
For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.
But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.
Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?
