Not to get Liam Neeson on your asses, but the fact is that Peyton Riley has a very specific skill set. She's good at her job and has just gotten off a major project when she crosses paths with the gorgeous snake-in-the-grass calling himself Carson Varis. He's taken her against her will, but to where, and to what end? She's got days to figure this out and escape–before her boss finds out where his favorite specialist has disappeared.
Carson Varis has got an eye for art and a mania for professionalism. No one does work-life balance like he does. But a certain fiery redhead has gotten his goals in a twist. He has his employer's order to fulfill, but can't get the memory of her body (and her hair, and her deep blue eyes, and oh, that mouth) out of the way. Can he get it together and pull off a job well done?
"Gustave!" Carson cried as the
older man lunged.
He gripped her arms, bound to the chair, with
such force that she yelped in pain. "You caused my sister's death, you
witch!" he screamed in her face. "Was it worth stopping the
acquisition that a poor woman had to lose her life?"
"I—I didn't mean for her to die!"
she yelled back, the panic that she'd been mastering surging through her body,
a lunatic tide, burning and acidic. "I've never—in all my time—no one's
ever been hurt—"
"Ha!" Gustave cried, and then he
laughed maniacally. "'No one's ever been hurt'? Do you truly believe that,
cheri? That when you destroy a person's livelihood, they are not ever
hurt?"
They stared back at each other—she watching
every flicker of muscle in his face for an approaching strike, he as though at
something unpleasant stuck under his shoe. The revulsion in his face was clear.
"Nagore may have been the first woman who's life you ended, but you have
killed others before, oh yes, cheri, scores of them—killed their worth, killed
their estimation, killed them in their minds so they walk among us like
zombies—and you have done it all, Mademoiselle. You have blood on your
hands!"
"What do you want from me?" she
cried.
He gripped her arms again and shook her.
"You owe me my sister's life!"
"I cannot bring her back!"
"Then you are in
my debt!" He stood and appraised her, a dead calm stealing over his face
as he looked her up and down. "Oh yes, dearest. You are in my debt."
