Two Chambered Heart
Book One in the Shielded Hearts Saga
Corey Smith has spent years surviving, but escaping her abusive ex leaves her with nothing. Cold, desperate, and alone, she makes a split-second decision, leaving her at the mercy of the twins, Jason and Kayden Haeven, kingpins of an underground opium empire.
They should have killed her. Instead, they decide to keep her.
Jason is sharp-edged and dangerous, a man who trusts no one. Kayden is his opposite—smooth-talking, sweet, and determined to make Corey fall for both of them. But there’s more to the twins than she knows. They have secrets, dark ones. Ones that whisper in her mind when she isn’t looking. Ones they refuse to confess until it’s a little too late.
She should hate them. Fear them. Find a way to run from them.
Instead, she finds herself caught between danger and desire, between the shadows of her past and theirs and the intoxicating pull of a new world. Corey will have to decide: Does she even want to escape... or is she exactly where she wants to be?
