Sometimes it’s the
hero who ends up needing a lifeline…
Jack Jarvis York is a ruthless and vindictive oil tycoon who knows no boundaries when he’s been double-crossed. Debtors beware. He’ll slit your throat for a nickel. And make no mistake, he will collect.
You never screw with a man’s pride, money, or oil. It’s Texas Law. Unwritten, yet gospel. They don’t call him the king of Texas for nothing.
When a debtor can’t come up with his money, JJ takes his wife as collateral...
What starts out as a trade-off between bitter men turns into an emotional collision of desire and forbidden love so dangerous, it threatens to destroy even the strongest of empires.
No amount of money will ever rebuild everything that’s been shattered. Jack is left standing in the middle of his own chaos.
Greed and power are the least of his worries now. Death is knocking on his front door, wanting to collect.
The woman he’s given his heart to just might become his collateral this time around. Past sins may trump everything...
HJ Bellus is simply amazing!!! This isn’t like her other books I’ve read. It’s on the darker side and man what a story and start to what’s going to be an amazing new series from her.

HJ Bellus is simply amazing!!! This isn’t like her other books I’ve read. It’s on the darker side and man what a story and start to what’s going to be an amazing new series from her.
JJ’s life wasn’t always easy. He started off poor. Him and his mom bounced from ratty hotel room to the other. Until a man names Preston overheard them in the supermarket. The guy changed his life and made him into the man he is today.
JJ doesn’t want for anything. He’s made enough money that he can do and take whatever he wants.
JJ might be a bad ass and takes no for an answer but that’s not all he is. Inside he’s still the broken poor little boy Preston saved all those years ago. When JJ meets Navy he was missing his friend. He helped her and it was time for her to soar and live her life.
Navy was married to a monster. JJ could see instantly he was abusing her. He was also stealing from JJ. JJ planned on taking everything from him and still did. But, now he was planning on taking Navy and rescuing her no matter the cost.
Navy’s been with her husband for awhile. But, it’s not a happily ever after. Navy doesn’t recognize the person looking back at her in the mirror. Navy’s not allowed to eat what she wants, sleep on a bed and he’s abusive. But, she can’t get away. I’m not going to get into everything else that’s been done to her.
JJ makes a deal to take Navy. Navy isn’t sure what to expect when JJ takes her. He keeps telling her he’s not like her husband but she’s so afraid it’ll take her a bit to believe it or trust him. While living with JJ she meets Faye and she quickly becomes a mother figure to her and her shell opens up. JJ’s showing he can be trusted. But, things aren’t that easy bc her last is coming back.
In the beginning it sounded like it was going to be Navy being saved by JJ. But, really both Navy and JJ are broken. Navy’s Broken on the inside and the outside. JJ portrays himself as being all put together. But, he’s good at faking it. He’s a Broken young boy on the inside. JJ and Navy heal each other in so many ways. Their story might not be easy. In fact it’s far from it. But, their story is still beautiful.
Faye. I absolutely loved Faye. And, her son Kemp. Wow!!! He might be a big bad bad ass. But, really Kemp has an incredible heart and when he was around a certain little somebody he made me smile. I’m excited for the next book. But, I’m afraid of where Kemp’s mental status might bring him. I’m hoping we’ll get back the bad ass with the soft heart again. HJ Bellus is continuing to prove herself as an auto buy for me.
