Anastasia Louise Furley

Anastasia, a young chemist, is abducted by sadistic diabolical men intent on forcing her to give them her formula, an antidote for a bacteria that destroys oil, and will devastate billions of lives. Beaten and tortured, she refuses to comply then she manages to escape, but the sociopaths kidnap a baby, and Anastasia trades her life for his. She is about to meet her maker when a mysterious man who claims to hate her and has threatened to kill her, comes to her rescue. Having endured an abusive childhood and a betrayal, Anastasia shies away from men. Especially from the man who saves her and appears determined to keep her alive. Surfacing after weeks from the coma she'd been beaten into, Anastasia's body is as rigid as a pole when she realizes the man who had threatened to kill her was there. Those strong arms holding her, were they his? No way could that bruiser be so gentle with her. But, he has that strange accent, it sounded as frightening as he looked. She remembered that chest, it had felt like granite yet he'd held her so carefully it hadn't hurt her withered body. Voltang Saldano works ruthlessly to keep Anastasia not only safe from the dastardly villains seeking to imprison her and force her to create the antidote, he has to protect her from her own reckless actions. Can he keep her out of danger long enough for them to fall in love?
