Desired Deal

This is a story about broken people making the only choices they have left. It's about the deals we make in the dark, the memories we can't escape, and the lies we tell ourselves THE BLUE BARGAIN

Everyone has a price. What's yours?

Is it money? Power? Love? Or simply the desperate need to escape the person you've become?

For Bastian Blue, the price was a split-second decision made at a red light-a decision that would cost him everything. One moment he was an ordinary man driving through Sentona City. The next, he was the unwilling accomplice to a bank heist, hostage to a woman with eyes like polished gunmetal and a past she couldn't remember.

But Hailey Gutter wasn't the only ghost from his shattered world.

There was Whitney, his wife, whose love had curdled into something sharp and dangerous. And Jane-always Jane-the woman who taught him how to lie, how to want, how to destroy. She was back, and she didn't come alone.

This is not a story about good people making bad choices to survive one more day.

Between the loaded silence of a getaway car and the echo of a gunshot in a too-quiet house, Bastian Blue will learn that there are worse things than being a prisoner.

Sometimes, the most dangerous cage is the one you carry inside you.
