"Why don't I believe you?"

"Dat be your problem."

"No," Wayde countered. "That is your problem." Danger, cool and

completely controlled, fueled his tone. He squared his jaw and challenged

Guy with nothing more than a look. "You touch her again and I'll kill you."

Guy narrowed his eyes at Wayde. Oh, dear God. Was he really stupid

enough to challenge Wayde right back? The words weren't even directed

toward her and they still scared the hell out of her. When James appeared

and stood on Mia's other side, Guy nodded tersely and lowered his gaze

until Wayde let him go.

"Now apologize to the lady," Wayde demanded.

"I don't see no lady," Guy snarled back at him. This man just didn't

know when to back down. When he shot her another lethal glare, she shrank

again, no one to protect her but women who were either content and didn't

want to create waves, or women who were too scared to challenge him? Did

James really have enough pull to keep Guy away from her? What about

when no one else was around?

Any way she looked at it, it didn't look good for Mia. On the other hand,

now that she had sponsorship, would she ever need to be backstage again?

The thought of leaving the rest of the women to fend for themselves against

that madman made up her mind. Their safety outweighed hers.

She had to rescue the ones who wanted out. She owed it to the

courtesans before her who didn't stand up to him and were now lifers. She

owed it to the courtesans who did stand up to him and suffered some sort of
