Deserted by Cara Dee

Gray Nolan had survived a kidnapping where he was supposed to have been auctioned off to the highest bidder. He had also survived being stranded on an island, under siege from a  different set of foes, and throughout the hell they’d all endured, their motto had been “Leave no man behind.

Mama Kerri took me in and treated me with nothing but love, as did the rest of my sisters of the soul. In that house, we formed a bond that could never be broken.
