Blurb:
DEA agent Eve Taylor has had her fill of alpha males. When Resolutions’ operative and former lover, Dillon “Mac” McKenna, threatened her hard-earned independence, she ran. On a mission to gather evidence against a Colombian drug-lord, Eve discovers the drug-lord is helping terrorists plan an attack on American soil. Before she can escape with the vital information, she’s captured and comes face to face with her mortality…
As a teen, Mac watched his family fall apart after his mother died doing dangerous U.N. work. The possibility of losing Eve to a mission ignited an overwhelming need to protect her. When he forced her to choose him or her job, she walked away. Two years later, it seems all his nightmares have come true and he’s tasked with rescuing her from a Colombian prison. Mac has never stopped loving Eve, but does he dare risk his heart when he’s so terrified of losing…
On the run, Mac and Eve must learn to trust each other again in order to stay alive.
Excerpt:
Beefy hands wrenched Eve awake from a fevered sleep, pulled her from
the cell, and shoved her into a musty-smelling hallway. I’m being
moved? A guard pushed her with one hand, keeping a tight grip on an
AK-47 rifle with his other.
Her shoulder throbbed in perfect cadence with the pains shooting
through her broken wrist, and she had one badass headache from being
punched in the face a few too many times. Using her good hand, she
walked fingers across one cheek, then the other. The right side was
totally numb. Her eye had swollen shut, and she couldn’t see a damn
thing out of it. She ran her tongue across her teeth and tasted the
tart, copper flavor of blood. Three teeth loose. Well, at least they’re
still in place.
In spite of the relentless pain, she stayed determined to survive
whatever Mendoza dished out. She wasn’t a quitter. No, sir. Duncan
Falls, Iowa didn’t grow quitters. Eve ignored the constant ache in her
ribs, courtesy of a guard’s overzealous kick, and took in a deep breath.
She willed herself to stay alert, to keep pushing. Escape. Third times
the charm.
Eve slapped the guard’s dirty hand. “Hey, Pedro, stop being so
damned pushy. Where we going anyway? We got a hot date I’ve forgotten
about?”
He looked puzzled then shoved her again.
“Don’t understand English, do you, Diego? Bet you understand this.”
Eve drove her elbow into the guard’s face. Thick rubbery cartilage gave,
and she whooped triumphantly.
Blood squirted from his nose and he screamed.
Eve stepped back. “Yep, I’m pretty sure you understand that.”
Unable to grab the guard’s assault rifle, she clutched her injured
shoulder, and took off in a slow jog, no longer able to push any harder.
Her escape was short lived.
