The Dirty Saint by Brooklyn Scott

She fell in love with the man who took her captive, but with that came a significant cost.

Army Lieutenant Ezra Maya has faced unimaginable trauma in her years on this earth.
So, when she is taken prisoner in connection to an event that happened in her life 7 years prior, she is forced to confront the past she hoped has long since been buried.
Hitman Joey Odeh knows one thing: he cannot live without his mother.
After all, she is one of the only people who has loved and protected him.
So, when he is asked to abduct a feisty soldier in the Army and get her to confess to a potential crime in exchange for his mom’s cancer treatment being paid for, he’s all in.
But then he meets her.
And let’s just say she isn’t at all what he pictured in his head.
