Crossed: Greg & Dani by Lucy Rinaldi

Dani: Oak Springs was supposed to be the place where I could be free. Or at least, pretend I’m free. But the truth is, I will never be free from my past, nor the man who still hunts for me to this day. My ex-husband. He took everything from me, literally. I did what I did to escape the man who used me up and sold me to his friends while he sold other girls in the sex trafficking ring he runs.
I had to get away from him. I had to do it for my unborn son. But it didn’t stop Joel Scott from finding me and taking my son for his own. I’ve never been able to find him, my baby since. I was dumped in this little town for my own protection, given a whole new background and orders never to tell anyone who I really am. But I didn’t mean to fall in love. I didn’t mean to hand him my heart on a platter.

How will he react when he realizes the truth?
What will he say when he finds out the son that was stolen from him is, in fact, the son of my ex-husband?
What will he do when he realizes everything he ever knew about me was a lie?
Greg: There’s only so much s**t a man can take in his life before it becomes too much. My wife lied to me, she cheated on me, passed her lovers son off as mine for three years before she finally found the decency to tell me the truth. I thought my life was over the day she walked out of my house with the boy I loved more than life itself. I didn’t know my life hadn’t even begun until Danika walked into my life

I fall so easy for the Latina beauty, I want her, all of her, every damn thing. Her curvy body has me salivting like a damn dog. Every inch of her is mine, I claim it all. She’s everything I ever wanted, but when she takes a bullet for me, I know I’m not right for her. I won’t risk her life ever again. I have to walk away. It’s for her own good.
At least, that’s what I’ll tell myself.
