Cry For Mercy

Becoming part of the Bennett empire wasn’t part of Adam’s plan, or his choice. In fact, it was the opposite of any life plan he might have had. Recovering from a failed relationship, he was looking to build his PI business, and make enough cash to fund his newly simple life.

He certainly didn’t plan for her, but the second he laid eyes on her, he couldn’t think of anything else. She looked sweet, fragile, probably too young for him, definitely too good for him.

But when the Bennett brothers demanded that he take on an urgent case for them, he had no choice but to cross paths with her again. And this time, he just couldn’t stay away. Even if he couldn’t be honest with her about anything.

Julie had always been troubled, always struggled with the basic, simple task of even liking herself. When her closest friend disappeared without a trace, she was left without her small support network, and fell back into a pattern of destructive behaviour. Her attempts to find her missing friend put her right in the path of an older man, who seemed to be everything she’d been looking for. Unfortunately it also put her in the path of lies, pain, and terror.

Can Adam remain true to himself, while under the thumb of the Bennetts, and having to lie to Julie, every second of every day? Can Julie ever trust the man who has quickly become her everything, all the while being drawn closer and closer to an event that none of them might survive?
