About this ebook

After being abducted from my bodyguard’s care by my soon-to-be ex-husband, who paid him to off me in the middle of nowhere, I’m locked in the basement of my old Bel Air mansion. Not exactly where I saw myself at this point in the separation—with a bodyguard I feel like I can trust but who accepted millions from my ex, and an ex I suspect is still plotting my demise.

When that bodyguard rescues me, I’ve had enough time to decide he’s the better option. A guy who makes my whole body ignite from head to toe can’t be all bad. I’ve made worse decisions when it comes to men, but I don’t have time to question him as we flee my rich and powerful ex. We escape to a cabin in the middle of the mountains where I have nothing but questions Cannon refuses to answer.

I’m tired of being jerked around by the men in my life. It’s time to do some digging—and what I learn about my bodyguard has little to do with the ex who’s hunting us, but it has everything to do with why Cannon won’t let himself get close to me. I just hope we can work through his past to build ourselves a future—and stop my ex before he steals that from me too.

Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing conclusion to the Devastated and Devoted Duet by Marie Johnston. It continues to follow Penni and Cannon in their adventure. There are great swoonworthy moments and an action packed storyline. This is well written and wraps up the duet well.

Cannon's past is delved into. Roman's true nature is revealed. Penelope is amazingly brave, and loving. Excellent duet. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
