BLURB:
When Claire Luna is
kidnapped and taken to a remote island, her predictable life is torn to shreds.
She thought she understood grief, loss and loneliness. But nothing prepared her
for the island.
Tucker Knight had his
world turned upside down when he was a young teen. He’d known love, security
and normality. But things changed, and somehow he lost his innocence along the
way.
Barrier takes you on a
compelling, thrilling and sometimes brutal journey of Claire and Tucker, who in
a bid to control their destiny, must learn about trust and submission. And also
about love.
The island is under the
control of Dr. Stephen Bell, a scientist obsessed with the secrets of humanity
through genetic engineering. Claire is part of his obsession, and quickly
comprehends Bell Bell
But, can she trust
Tucker? Is he her enemy or her savior? Claire understands that to surrender
means to survive, but can she endure? Tucker can’t help but be enamored by the
spirited and determined Claire, but to survive, he must face and overcome his
haunting past. Up until Claire’s arrival on the island, he had never thought
himself capable, or deserving, but perhaps this was his chance to finally do
the right thing.

EXCERPT:
“We have to get out of here. We can go, just leave somehow.”
Levi came away from the window and stood closer to me. His
face lit up at the idea of escape. “Now you’re talking my language,” Levi
piped.
“We just need a boat, some way to get away.” My voice was a
high-pitched shrill, but I struggled to keep it low enough so the guards didn’t
hear me. My legs shook. I could hear my heart’s pounding in my ears. Levi was
nodding his head.
“I already showed you there is no way off this island,
Claire.” Tucker grabbed my shoulders with both hands. I heard a slow sigh come
Levi’s direction.
I pretended Tucker hadn’t spoken. I pulled myself free of
his hold and looked at Levi.
“There must be some way over that fence, or through the
gate. We just have to figure it out,” I continued. Tingling inched across my
skin like crawling insects. My hands went to my head like I was trying to
squeeze out an idea of how it could be done. Levi watched me, contemplated what
I was saying. His face was dark in thought. He looked from me to Tucker. His
eyebrows gathered in the center. He glanced at the clock on the wall.
