Multiple
#1 New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks continues her
Slow Burn series with a suspenseful and sizzling story of a young woman who
escapes a terrifying past… into a more uncertain future.
Raised in a
strict religious cult since she was a young girl, Jenna has no connection to
the outside world beyond vague flashes of memory that seem to be from another
life. Memories she clings to when the cult leaders discover her extraordinary
ability to heal-and punish her. Years held captive and forced to do the cult's
bidding have turned Jenna into a meek, timid woman…or so they think. In truth,
she is merely biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to escape.
When a terrified young woman tries to steal the SUV of Devereaux Security's toughest recruit, Isaac's anger quickly turns into a strange sort of protectiveness for the beautiful, bruised stranger. But when they are caught in a firestorm of bullets and Isaac is hit, he's sure the end is near, until Jenna touches him and closes his wounds. As he tries to bring Jenna to safety, she refuses to tell him what danger haunts her or how she healed him, but Isaac vows to do whatever it takes to gain her trust…and her heart. Because with just one touch, Isaac knows he wants Jenna to be his--forever.

She’s mine, Dane. No one else’s. I told you I’d ask if and when I need
backup or help. Until
then, it’s better that
none of you are associated with her or are seen anywhere
near her. She risked everything to save me when I could have been no better than the assholes trying to get to her. She sealed her fate in that moment because I’m not going anywhere. I need time to hear
her side and I have a feeling she’s not just going to volunteer any information about herself, so I’m also going to need time to gain her trust
and I’m going to prove to her that
she can trust
me. I appreciate
the offer. More than you know. But she isn’t a DSS client or assignment. She’s mine, and I’ll protect
her with my life.”

Tasty Q&A with
Maya Banks
Describe
yourself in five words or less.
Unorganized,
melt-down prone, laid back, despise drama & conflict!
If you had
a theme song, what would it be?
My
Give A Damn is Broken
Name one
thing you won’t leave home without.
A
cup of crushed ice
What do you
like to do when you aren't writing?
I’m
a complete homebody & enjoy hanging out at home with my family every chance
I get. It’s rare for me to leave my house!
What types of scenes are your most favorite to write?
I love revealing information about various characters
personalities and the closeness between them through dialogue. I also
always look forward to writing the dark
moment as I love me some angst!
What are your favorite types of stories to read?
I love stories that don’t feature a couple who spend the
entire book apart or that focus on internal conflict. I much prefer to see the
hero and heroine together on the page and to see them working together to
overcome external conflict.
Are there
certain characters you would like to go back to, or is there a theme or idea
you’d love to work with?
I
absolutely love following up with characters from a previous story whether it’s
including them as secondary characters in a newer book or writing a short
novella that revisits them so readers can see them after the HEA
Is there
anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?
I
absolutely credit my readers with my success and my career. They, not me, are
why I’ve been able to write close to 80 stories in the 11 years I’ve been
writing
