Book excerpt: I had to get away Holden, the captain of the slavers, is a cold, terrifying man. No matter how bad things are outside the safety of his compound, it has to be better than staying with a man who kills people and sells others like they mean nothing. But in the darkest parts of my mind I know the real reason I'm so desperate to run away. It's because I'm beginning to want him. She wasn't my slave I made a promise to my best friend that I'd take care of his daughter as though she was my own, but it's getting harder and harder to ignore the effect Astrid has on me every time I look at her. The only thing holding me back from taking what I want is guilt over betraying the memory of my friend. But how long will that guilt be enough to protect her from me?
