My mind was no longer there. It was leaping and flying over leaves and dodging ancient trunks. Run. Go. Run.
“Make it and you’re no longer mine….”
Freedom taunted me, making me believe I had a chance. A slim, barely non-existent chance—but still a chance. The muscles in my legs reacted, already poised to take off. I had to trust my body. It knew how to flee.
I could make it. If I did, I would no longer be his pet to torture. But if I didn’t….
Don’t ask. Don’t ask.
“And if I don’t?”
Jethro lowered his head, glaring at me beneath his brow. His eyes were tight and dark, glinting with excitement at the upcoming hunt. “Don’t and the debt I’ll make you repay will make you wish you had made it to the boundary.” He stepped from the sun’s glare, his teeth sparkling like diamonds. “Now…run.”
…
…
I ran.
“You say I’ll never own you. If I win—you willingly give me that right. You sign not only the debt agreement, but another—one that makes me your master until your last breath is taken. You do that, and I’ll give you this.”
Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Stolen, taken, and bound not by monsters but by an agreement written over six hundred years ago, she has no way out.
She belongs to Jethro as much as she denies it.
Jethro Hawk’s patience is running out. His inheritance gift tests, challenges, and surprises him—and not in good ways. He hasn’t leashed her but he thinks he might’ve found a way to bind her forever.
Debts are mounting. Payment waiting.

Here we go on another acknowledgements. The part where I freak out because I KNOW I’m going to forget someone. If that person is you, I love you.
Thank you so much to: Jenny from Editing4Indies and Kayla The Bibliophile for doing an amazing editing job and squeezing me in late notice.
Thanks to my amazing beta readers: Kristi, Mandi, Melissa, Skye, Ker, Kiki, Tamicka, and Yaya. Your incredible feedback made this book shine.
Thanks to the incredible duo who I adore, Aussie Lisa and NinaAfterDark. I don’t know what I would’ve done without your support and you reading the first edition of Jethro and Nila.
Thanks so much to Rachel, Skye, Lyra, Lili, and too many other amazing people to mention who talk to me on a daily basis, share their ups and downs, and make me feel less insane as a writer.
Thanks to Nadine for running my street team and being such a huge supporter.
Thank you so much to the amazing Ari from Cover it Designs for my kick ass covers. I can’t wait to reveal the remaining ones for this series.
Thank you to The Rock Stars of Romance for hosting the review and blog tour. You guys had to put up with me in many ways so I’m very grateful.
Thank you to Love Between the Sheets for putting up with my nightmarish double bookings and lack of coordination.
Thank you to my readers who just make me feel so loved and appreciated in all things that I write.
Thank you to hubby for cooking me dinner, keeping me alive, and overlooking the fact I now work entirely in pyjamas.
