Bounty

Elise is an overwhelmed single mother of two boys in Southern California. She's an avid traveler, a swing dancer, an occasional piano player, and an online shopping junkie. Abby Williams has got it made: First a new job as magazine editor in London, and now a trip to an exotic island to review a five-star resort with poolside service. Unfortunately, on day two of her vacation, Abby finds herself bound and stuffed into a burlap bag and dragged across two continents. And worse than that? Her hottie abductor has got her distracted. Maybe escape is overrated. Iain Brodie is a muscle-bound mercenary. He just helped a despotic dictator take over an island. He's also Abby's kidnapper, and he has his own problems. Framed for a murder he didn't commit and a boss who’s out to get him, he has to face facts: Early retirement is out of the question and Abby Williams looks damned good in a burlap bag. Elise Sax delivers another hilarious page-turner, filled with adventure, murder, mayhem, and love. BOUNTY is a sexy, wild ride.

Chapter 10

I walked down the long staircase to the ballroom below. There were at least twenty large round tables, set for a fancy party. An orchestra played in the back of the room. Chopin, I guessed. Guests in ball gowns and tuxedos glided around, mingling and drinking.

I was reminded of the evening entertainment in Chechnya. They had tables and live entertainment, too, but the comparison stopped there. This was a Cinderella-style ball, a world away from what I suffered only days before. You've come a long way, baby, I thought.

I was reminded of Brodie, as well. He had surprised me that night in Chechnya, and I found myself wishing he would surprise me again. It was his magical everything again, turning my head.

I wanted his magical everything.
