When your husband gets you human-trafficked, Stockholm Syndrome might just be the key to unlock all your cages.

Waylon never imagined his husband's gambling addiction would cost him his freedom. When Paul's debts land Waylon in the hands of a criminal syndicate, he's locked away in a remote house with ten days to wait for a miracle?or an auction that will sell him to the highest bidder.

In the middle of Waylon's nightmare, one man stands apart. Sean, his guard, and an ex-military, is the only one who shows him kindness. Sleepless nights and a forbidden connection with his prisoner awaken parts of Sean he thought were long dead. When desire turns dangerous, Sean is forced to question everything?his loyalty, his choices, and his future.

As Waylon's deadline closes in, Sean must decide how far he's willing to go to save the man who's already claimed his heart.

A dark MM romance with high heat, hurt/comfort, morally gray heroes, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
