Ok read, but not a keeper.
Alexandra DeLisle might believe that Ryder Culhane is the very devil himself because of his uncanny sixth sense, but if he held the key to finding her abducted sister, she'd bargain with Lucifer himself. She'll do anything, from following Ryder halfway around the world to blackmail to posing as his concubine and submitting to his every intimate demand, and never count the cost ....
