Defending Griffin

Coming November 10th 2026

He’ll sacrifice anyone to get what he wants.

Paisley Benz never could have foreseen that a first date with a man she met online would end with her being drugged and kidnapped. All her life, she's been mocked and ridiculed for her curvy body by her parents, her siblings, and the other kids at school, but she believed the man she met online when he told her he loved her curves. Now she knows he was lying to her, reeled her in like the desperate-to-be-loved woman she is, and because of her own stupidity, she now belongs to the head of a trafficking ring.

Acceptable loss has been Griffin Finch's mantra for as long as he can remember. Through his childhood, through the military, and through his career as part of Prey Security's Undercover Team. Never once has he faltered in his belief that people are untrustworthy and disposable, that the greater good is all that matters. Until her. Until he finds the men who work for him at Azure taunting the newest addition and calling her a fat pig. Only he can't afford to let anything or anyone, not even a blue eyed beauty with curves he can't stop thinking about, get in the way now that he finally has what he needs to destroy the trafficking ring.
