Caged Rose by Naomi West

This is not the story of a missed connection.
This is the story of a disaster I thought I left behind.
Ten years ago, I ran from my home and found my way to L.A.
Some girls come here with hopes of fame and fortune.
I was just trying to survive and stay away from trouble.
It didn’t take long for me to find it.
Although to be fair, it’s more like it found me.
And “it” took the form of Konstantin Aminoff.
Too tall to be seen. Too gruff to be real. Too handsome and too rich and too dangerous to go anywhere near.
But Konstantin got close before I knew I ought to scream.
Then he disappeared.
Ten years later, I’m still trying to put my life back together.
That’s when I open my door—
And see the man I never thought I’d see again.
“I know you have him,” he rumbles.
I look him dead in the eye and say, “I have no clue what you’re talking about.”
He says, “Don’t lie to me, kiska. I came for the truth. Now tell me:
Where is our son?”
