though, even if they were poor themselves. That is until
two men approach her at a library where she was studying.
The men are from the Compound and they escort her to her
new home. Labled a runaway, she is to be guarded at all
times. At least until she can find a husband or become

birthday. Can Kera find a way out of the mess her father
has put her in or will she have to learn the ways of a Wife? Devon Noved is known as a playboy. He and his friends have
done just about anything and everything, including using

the girls there as well as enjoy Kera's flight or fight
attitude. They will enjoy the hot, steamy sex scenes and
