Alex A trip to Vegas was supposed to help me forget my heartbreak—not throw me into a nightmare. Meeting a nice stranger came at the perfect moment. After dealing with my own heartbreak, it was nice to be reminded that not all guys are liars. However, when he disappears, Tristan, the younger brother, looks to me for answers. Being kidnapped by him is different from what one would think, and the longer I’m around him, the more I’m not seeing him as my kidnapper anymore. Tristan I don’t believe in coincidences. When my brother disappeared in Vegas, something didn’t sit right with me. Alex has to know where he is, since she is the last to see him, so I kidnapped her to get answers. Now, I’m running a family that I had no intention of ever controlling and dealing with a growing attraction for the girl I took.
