Dane
I'm tired of killing people...Jagged Peaks Mountain is home to nothing but murders and maniacs. A perfect place for me to live out my retirement. I've been killing for more than three-quarters of my life and I used to be one of the best in the business. Now all I want is to live my life in peace and seclusion.
Everyone that lives on this mountain knows the deal either your predator or your prey.
When I see a woman fighting for her life only to fall off a cliff part of me wants to leave her there. I should have.
Instead, I pick her up and bring her into my world.
She's grateful I saved her life, but I wonder how happy she's going to be when I tell her she's never allowed to leave.

Christmas Eve was supposed to be the best day of my life. I was set to marry Sam, my long-term boyfriend, at the brand new and exclusive Jagged Peaks resorts.
I thought I found my happily ever after but instead, I found my fiance and my best friend going at it on the altar.
My mother tells me this is normal.
Sam tells me I'm being selfish.
My best friend tells me she's only trying to help.
I can't fight them so I run away. Up the mountain and into terrain no one dares go.
Jagged Peaks resort may be geared to the elite, rich, and famous but Jagged Peaks mountain is reserved for killers and criminals.
I run from bad to worse, only to be rescued by a man who wants no neighbors.
I wake up chained to his bed with no way to call for help and no way to escape.
I should hate him, I should be fighting but Dane has taken care of me in ways Sam never has, and his touch set me on fire.
Unfortunately, Sam won't take 'it's over' as an answer. I agreed to marry him and he's going to make sure I fulfill that promise no matter what it takes. Even if means hiring an army of killers to do it.
