"Bedroom?" Cadence clarified. "Just one? But you said I'd be staying here."

"I still have to make sure you don't try anything," I explained. "You'll be staying in here. Don't worry-- it's a king sized bed."
"And," Cadence began, looking anywhere but me as she took in the room, "what else does making sure I don't try anything entail?"

"Well for starters," I told her seriously, "I'm going to need you to strip."

Cadence Maurice wanted nothing more in the world than to have the engagement trip of her life with her fiancé, Isaiah in the beautiful city of Moscow. But all too quickly, everything was taken from her. Isaiah was shot by a man in a mask, and she was kidnapped to a desolate mansion to be interrogated about him. She thought she knew everything about her husband to-be, but the more she's questioned, the more she begins to think that maybe her sweet fiancé was the bad guy.
Only, as Cadence quickly discovers, in this story, there is no good guy.
