Deep in the Bayou

Was he captor or savior?

When Melissa Bentley was kidnapped at gunpoint by a man whose haunted eyes penetrated hers, whose hands shook as he held her captive, she thought she knew what she was up against. But when her abductor saved her life, she knew the stakes had changed.

Brett Samson claimed his brother had been murdered. Melissa knew firsthand that someone wanted him to join his kin. To save her own life, she took him deep into the Louisiana bayou, where the accents were as thick as the Spanish moss that clung to their haven.

Melissa didn't know where to turn -- toward the law, or toward an outlaw whose eyes held the promise of love, but whose hand held a gun.
