A Shadow Stalkers novella from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Crossfire series.
Layla Creed and Deputy US Marshal Brian Simmons have a history that is as hot and heartbreaking as it is unforgettable. Now their paths have crossed once again. This time things are twice as hot. Layla—a protected witness—has been persuaded to come out of hiding and testify in a sensational murder trial. But as far as Brian’s concerned, there’s an even more pressing problem.
Once Layla testifies she’ll get sucked back into the Witness Protection Program. A new identity, a new location, a new occupation—and a new inspector to check up on her. In other words, out of his life forever. There is one more option—take Layla and go on the run. Rekindling what they once had should be easy. But a stranger in their shadow has plans of his own, forcing Brian and Layla to risk everything in the name of love.
Includes an excerpt of On Fire, another Shadow Stalkers novella.

Praise for Sylvia Day
“The rush of erotic fiction into the hands of mainstream readers invites consideration of whether twenty-first-century society is flirting with a new normative sexual epoch. Day’s novel explores this issue unflinchingly and compellingly by pairing her narrative of sexual temptation and emotional risk with character studies that mirror divisive social and cultural issues of identity, trauma, repression, and liberation.”—Andrea Cremer, New York Times bestselling author
“You know you’re in for a good book when other authors—and I mean LOTS of other authors—recommend it.”—USA Today
“A page-turner!”—Access Hollywood Live
“Bared to You takes a sensual look at a darker side of love.”—Shelf Awareness “[A] highly charged story that flows and hits the mark.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Full of emotional angst, scorching love scenes, and a compelling story line.”—Dear Author
“Will have you furiously flipping pages.”—Glamour
“Sophisticated, engaging, clever and sweet.”—The Irish Independent
“Superb writing...I can’t wait to see what Day does next!”—RT Book Reviews
“When it comes to brewing up scorchingly hot sexual chemistry, Day has few literary rivals.”—Booklist
