A novella set in a futuristic world where money and breeding mean all. A life full of hardship and suffering and a society that is bound by the Law. Welcome to a possible future.In this short story we are introduced to Emmaline Gregson a young woman classed as a Blueblood and therefore protected and cosseted at every turn. She finds herself in danger and her father has arranged for retired Lawman Pierce Taggert and his crew to protect her. Pierce finds the young woman to be strange contradiction as she's unlike any female Blueblood he's ever encountered and can't help but find her attractive. Emmaline has faced danger and survived before but this time the danger is closer to home.They find themselves cruelly betrayed by Emmalines cowardly father and need to escape in a hurry. On the run its Pierces job to protect Emmaline and help her find safety. Unfortunately a cruel sex trafficker Richard Stone,is trying to find Emmaline and take revenge. Deciding to hide Emmaline in his own apartment Pierce begins to see a side of her that calls to him . This attraction is mutual and together they have to face both the danger that follows Emmaline and also the demons that haunt Pierce.I really enjoyed this short read. It starts with a bang and continues to move at a fast pace. I liked that the author sought to keep up the tension and her depiction of a futuristic society felt bleak and realistic. A tense feeling permeated the writing and there was enough action to keep me turning the pages. Sizzling chemistry between the two leads and I would love to read more from Ms Grant.
