Inhale

Want. Need. Desire. Lust was the keywords that ran through First Lieutenant Joel Dockery's mind as he read the file of Celeste Gardner. A beauty for sale.

Joel wasn't about to allow such a prize to be taken into the world of human trafficking and prostitution because her father was a scum. Not when he wanted her for himself.

As the self-proclaimed investigating officer on the case, Joel sets his team to learn everything about her. Although some evidence points in his direction, Joel takes on the challenge to finally shut down his disgusting family member Dean. The more he digs, he finds his brother, and Bren is also involved.

Joel strikes at everyone as he secures Celeste as his. When if finds the leader of the human trafficking and prostitution ring, he vows to kill them all. He knows he is on the right track as trained killers come after him and his team as they began to peel away the scum bags to find real disgusting humans.

Joel discovers Dean and Mort are two of thousands of foot soldiers for Jacob, his commander. Setting his sights on his commander, Joel pushes everyone past their breaking points to create him as Celeste's only solution for being saved.

Joel's track record with women was to take what he wanted and leave when he wanted. At no point has Joel ever seen a woman worth having a second time. His sexual lust was out of control. For her, he had to become a saint. Forced to deal with his demons, Joel feels himself slipping and Celeste is his only lifeline.

Joel has to have her. He needs to consume her; mostly he needs to hold her. Everything he is finding says she will deny him and he cannot accept that decision. He has changed everything about him for her as he walks in the shadows around her to become her protection; he knows he is the only one she needs protection from.

It has taken a full year to become ready for her. Just as her father is released, Joel faces reality. She is coming and he has to save her. To save her will mean killing every person that gets in his way, even his own family
