Trapped: An Everyday Heroes World Novel

Kristina Beck's Trapped is a heart-wrenching, intense, slow-burn contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg's Everyday Heroes Worlds project.

An innocent wish. That's all it was.

Charli

Because of my selfishness, people lost their lives.

And if the punishment wasn't bad enough, I inherit everything my sister leaves behind, including her adorable six-month-old baby girl. Now, I'm a fumbling single mom and tough career woman whose life lies in the balance.

To make matters worse, Kellan, my father's broody business partner, reappears, looking ridiculously handsome as ever. For a man who couldn't stand breathing the same air as me before, he's suddenly melting at my feet. Little does he know he's starred in plenty of my steamy dreams. Slowly the wall between us melts away and love and passion takes its place.

Everyone says I'm the winner in this situation, but guilt chases away my happiness. Then two more bombs are thrown my way, making me question the strength of true love and my future.

Kellan

They say I was a hero that Thanksgiving morning. To me, I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The horrific images that were burned into my memory are on constant repeat. I was thankful it wasn't Charli crushed in the wreckage, the woman I've always hidden my true feelings from. It was her sister, Sandy, who died instead.

Now I'm brought face-to-face with Charli and her niece, teasing me with a future I've always wanted. Out of respect for my boss, I've gone as far as to callously dismiss her for years. But circumstances have changed, and that reasoning is irrelevant now. It's time I put everything on the line and prove she's the only woman for me... even if it means losing her anyway when she finds out I witnessed what happened to her sister.
