Deadly Ruse

**Special Edition Paperback Cover** Winning the lottery was supposed to be my fresh start. Being buried alive nearly made it my end. I didn't even have a chance to cash in the winning ticket before someone dug a hole in the middle of nowhere, built a make-shift coffin and buried me alive. I fought to live. Prayed for a quick death. The money that was supposed to change my life couldn't save it. It was a hero with a wet nose and a fiercely loyal heart who rescued me. But it was his handler, Paxton Turner, who captured my heart. Irresistibly gorgeous, intense and protective, Paxton wants me-but he's a man with secrets. In my journey to heal, I find myself caught between love and danger. As the attraction ignites between us, I have to decide if my heart is masking what is truly in front of me-answers to who put me in that box and why. And will I figure it out before it's too late? Or will my nightmare become reality once more?
