Synopsis:
A new novel
from the author of Bound to Danger who “has the amazing ability of
pulling the reader onto the front lines of the action and drama.” (The Reading
Café)
When his
wife was murdered two years ago, Special Agent Levi Lazaro turned his back on
everything he cared about. Ever since, he has thought of nothing but vengeance.
Now he's finally uncovered the identities of those who killed his wife—and he's
ready to destroy them at any cost. He won’t let anything stand in his way—not
even a beautiful NSA agent on a mission of her own.
Special
Agent Selene Wolfe prides herself on being the best. Her fearlessness and
quick-thinking make her the perfect person to take down a deadly terrorist
cell. But she needs Levi’s help, and the moment he shows up, Selene knows her
objectivity—and her heart—are in trouble.
As the two
strike an uneasy alliance, Levi finds himself tormented by his desire for
Selene—a feeling he thought long dead. But when their mission takes an
unexpected turn, he finds himself at a crossroads. Can he put aside his need
for revenge to save the woman who’s reawakened his soul?

“Alexander’s
there,” Allison said, a strange note in her voice.
He followed
her line of sight and spotted Alexander striding outside with a woman on his
arm. They were about fifteen feet away, in one of the open glass doorways.
But she
wasn’t arm candy. This woman wasn’t some piece of fluff. Tall, sleek, strong,
she was an operator. No doubt about it, just from the way she moved. She
scanned the enormous pool area, looking at faces and taking mental notes. He
could see it in every tight line of that hot body.
She was
drop-dead gorgeous, though that description fell way too short of reality. She
had to be at least five feet ten, but it was hard to tell with her heels. Her
white blond hair had been pulled into a twist type of thing, falling over one
of her breasts like a long rope. Her dark blue dress was long and fitted but
not skintight and the asymmetrical one-shoulder look was sexy as hell. Since
when had shoulders become sexy? The dress accentuated all her curves, making
his mouth water. The reaction stunned him as much as it pissed him off. Unlike
practically everyone here tonight wearing black her dress was blue. He wondered
if it matched her eyes. Immediately he hated himself for his curiosity. He didn’t
give a shit about some woman Alexander had arrived with.
Liar.
Then she
turned fully toward him and all the breath left his lungs in one whoosh as
their gazes collided. Something flared in her pale blue eyes. Something he
couldn’t read as she looked him over from head to toe, unabashed in her
perusal. He couldn’t tell if she was checking him out with sexual interest or
sizing him up. Did she know who he was? Truly was . . . He
wasn’t sure why the thought crossed his mind. He didn’t know all of Wesley’s operators
but this woman was looking at him as if she knew him. Or maybe she just wanted
to get to know him. Hell if he knew. It’d been too long since he’d paid
attention to a woman and he hated that he couldn’t tell if that was feminine
interest in her gaze.
And now,
after two years, his cock decided wake up.
Fuck.
Striding
forward he practically dragged Allison with him, ignoring her little yelp of
surprise as he barreled toward them. By the time he’d reached Alexander and the
woman, Alexander had pulled two champagne glasses from one of the passing
server’s trays.
The arms
dealer’s eyes widened a fraction as he turned to find Levi and Allison standing
there. He completely ignored Levi and his date and smiled at Allison. He held
out a glass to her, a hell of a lot more polite than Levi had been tonight. “I
didn’t know you’d be here,” Alexander said, clearly pleased to see her.
“Thank
you,” she murmured, taking it. “I like the beard. It suits you.”
“I remember
what you said and thought I’d try it,” Alexander said, staring at Allison as if
mesmerized. The blonde was still watching Levi.
Gritting
his teeth, Levi cleared his throat. “Allison, you already know Alexander.” He
turned to the man’s date then. “But we haven’t met.”
The blonde
continued to watch him curiously as Alexander handed her the other glass. “Of
course. Selene, this is Isaiah Moore, an associate. And this is the lovely
Allison.”
The blonde
nodded politely at Allison, then turned that pale gaze on Levi. “Isaiah?” Her
voice was throaty, sexy, and sent another pulse of need to his cock. She seemed
almost amused by his name. As if she didn’t believe it. And fuck it, he wanted
to hear his real name on those lips.
