Rapture Book One

His name is Hunter Michael Cambridge, but he goes by Rush…

I was running for my life, and ran into him.

My savior.

My protector.

My everything.

He had so many options when he found me crouching in the backseat of his car. He could have tossed me back to the streets. He could have called the law to come and arrest me. He could have even picked up where my abuser left off. But the tall, dark, and sexy stranger, chose none of that. Instead, bearing down on me with a threatening, and unfriendly glare, he invited me into his home. I couldn’t choose reluctance, because I was in a strange town, with nowhere to turn. And even with recent circumstances not being in my favor, somehow, I trusted him.

Alika Collins.

Damsel in distress.

Only, her story is no fairytale.

And for damn sure, there is no Prince.

I didn’t know what to think when I found her on the floorboard of my damn car. I had driven all the way home from dinner, unaware that she was even there. Was she a groupie? Was she some kind of lunatic? I didn’t know. But after studying her for the first few minutes, I could tell that she was neither of those things. She was terrified. She was lost. And when she revealed how she ended up here, I felt compelled to help her. Turned out, she had kissed a frog, hoping for a happily ever after… and ended up in a nightmare that she almost didn’t awake from.

Sometimes in life, the bad happens, so that the good can prevail

Former professional athlete, Rush Cambridge has traded in his uniform, and turned dedicated business man. He is on the heels of opening a mega club, Temptation, when Alika Collins crashes into his life—literally. Bad boy, Rush is not looking for love. It’s not something that is anywhere near his radar. Relationships are not his thing. Where women are concerned, it’s strictly about sex. But there’s something about Alika…

Soon, their intense encounter spirals into something that neither of them expected.

However, while Rush is in the throes of a new beginning, somebody from his past is plotting to end all that he has worked for. But anybody that knows Rush… past or present… knows that he is not one to be played with, or disrespected. Those are trigger moments, that bring about a certain type of reaction. But when it begins to appear that somebody close to him is involved, it hits Rush in a different way. And when the reason behind the betrayal is revealed along the way, life will never be the same.
