~Ellie
Ellie is devastated when her secret past finally

and find happiness with a good man. Leaving Jay rips her heart to shreds, but
it’s the only way she can protect him from the dangerous people she once ran
with. And deep down, she fears he’ll never be able to forgive her for hiding
her past from him.
The closer Jay gets to the truth
about Ellie, the deeper he plunges into danger. He’ll move heaven and earth to
save her, but if she can’t trust in Jay’s love it might be too late for both of
them.

Jay hurried over
and realized the woman was holding a drink tray as she leaned against the only
bar that appeared to be in use. Sidestepping a woman who asked if he wanted a
private dance, he nodded once at Wyatt when the other man spotted him. All he
cared about was finding Ellie and making sure she was okay.
Breaking away
from Brannon and the female, Wyatt met him halfway, about ten feet away from
the other two. They wouldn’t have been able to overhear him and Wyatt with the
music anyway. “Where’s Ellie?” Jay asked.
“Not sure. She
went in the side door and we haven’t seen her anywhere in here, but she didn’t
leave. Brannon knows that dancer,” he said with a tilt of his head. “She says
the owner isn’t exactly a loan shark, but he lends money sometimes to locals.
His office is in the back so she might be—”
Jay didn’t wait
for Wyatt to continue. He turned and threaded his way through the mostly empty
cocktail tables. As he moved, he catalogued how many people were by the live
stage, the bar and the few stragglers sitting at random tables. He also noted
the exits, something he did everywhere he went. It was akin to breathing. Three
were visible, but he knew there had to be more. Behind him he thought he heard
Wyatt mutter something under his breath, but ignored him as he entered the
hallway. The music was still audible here, but at a much lower decibel.
His heart rate
picked up a notch when he heard a male shout and Ellie’s scream from the only
door cracked open in the hall. That sound was like a knife to his chest.
Withdrawing his SIG, he slowed as he reached the edge of the opening. He risked
a quick glance behind him, unsurprised to find Wyatt had also drawn a weapon.
Even though he
wanted to blast his way in there, Jay used his training and common sense to
slowly ease the door open with his boot. He could see Ellie’s purse on the
floor turned on its side. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead as he held up a
hand motioning to Wyatt that he was going in and that Wyatt should hold off. He
knew Wyatt would understand why.
He was basically
going in blind and needed backup in case things went south.
“Stop!” Ellie
screamed.
The sound of
Ellie’s terror slammed into Jay. He slammed his foot into the door, deciding to
use the element of surprise as he swept the room with his weapon. It took scant
seconds to assess the situation.
A big man
wearing all black had a smaller man pinned against the wall, his hand wrapped
around the guy’s throat as he gasped for breath. The smaller man looked like an
extra out of a seventies’ porno, but Jay’s focus was on Ellie. Tears streamed
down her face and her silk blouse was ripped right down the middle, exposing
her soft skin and lacy bra.
