“I’m sure after working for the Saint James family for so many years, you understand the concept of an eye for an eye,” he says, completely ignoring my father as if he thinks he’ll have better luck reasoning with the tank of a man shielding me from him.

“Isla is under Saint James protection, so I don’t think they would agree in this particular instance.” The words fall from his lips so easily that I would believe them if I weren’t intimately familiar with the truth.

Why the hell would they give a shit about me? I’ve never even met them.

Silence follows and I can’t help myself. I peek out to look at Spade and find him staring right at me, his dark eyes boring into mine like he’ll see the answers he seeks without me saying a word.

And hell, maybe he will. You don’t get to his position without being able to read people.

“Why would you be under the protection of a family you’ve never met, Isla?”

I open my mouth to respond, even though we both know I don’t have an answer for him, but I’m cut off when Doc’s body repositions in front of mine.

“You don’t need to speak to her,” he snaps. “She’s under their protection because we’re getting married.”

My eyes widen, and my stomach bottoms out.

There goes my last resort.

Montana was inspired to write her own stories from an early age and it wasn’t long before her dream became becoming an author one day. Life hasn’t always been kind to Montana, but each of the challenges she has faced she has turned into a positive outcome, and has made her want to achieve her dream that much more.

Montana is a lover of all living creatures, except for spiders, and her love for her pets is never ending. She leads an active lifestyle and enjoys many different cuisines, often referring to herself as a garlic bread connoisseur. Montana loves to travel, and has found inspiration while exploring the USA and Canada with her wonderful husband. She has always loved everything Disney and is a pop culture nerd.

She attributes her ability to write romance to her husband, Sam, as she’s inspired every day by their fairytale love story. If she can bring about positive change in one persons life with something she has written, she will consider herself a successful author.
