Kidnapped, beaten and memory wiped: Lakshmi had to get away. Now.Sweat crawled down Lakshmi’s hopefully not broken ribs as she purposefully sauntered up Neelam City’s docks, away from the ship where she’d been tied up. One minute she’d been drinking, the next she’d woken up with no idea how she’d gotten there.Which meant she had a problem. Who kidnapped her? What happened in the missing hours cut from her memory?
