Billionaire businessman Donovan Blake knew he might not survive the
night. Being double-crossed and ripped off was one thing. But being
blindfolded, hands tied behind his back, shoved into what he assumed was
the back of a van, and driven to God knows where was something else
entirely. He’d been in plenty of tough situations but nothing compared to
this. To make matters worse, a storm was raging and no-one had any idea
where he was.
He could hear two men talking. Between the noisy vehicle and the
torrential rain it was impossible to hear what was being said, but he was
fairly certain they weren’t paying him any attention. If he was going to try
to get away this could well be the only chance he’d have. It was slim, but
slim was better than none.
Hidden in a wide belt loop at the back of his waist was a tiny blade.
Though he never thought he’d have to use it, part of his training regime had

she’d imagined was far from the grim reality.
She glanced at the clock: 2:17 a.m.
The night had been chaotic.
In addition to the usual mix of casualties there had been two gunshot
victims, and a five-car pile up on the interstate had sent a slew of casualties
into the ward.
In recent months her passion for the job had waned. More than once
she’d almost handed in her notice. The dreamy Dr. Peterson had suggested
she try private nursing. He claimed the money was great and there was a
shortage of qualified candidates. She’d wanted to tell him she’d be happy to
nurse him anytime—but all the girls flirted with him and she wasn’t about
to be one of the crowd.
Letting out a weary sigh, she turned onto a back street. Though it was
dark and creepy it was a short cut home. It also spiked her adrenalin. The
feeling was one she loved. It was akin to a roller coaster ride, or even
speeding through a red light. But as the heavy rain hit the windshield she
