Summary
A rebel on the run…
Victoria Royal is a
traitor. Or so the U.S. government believes. Victoria was once a promising
sniper in the Army, but now she’s gone rogue—worse, she’s just landed in the
middle of a Hostile Operations Team mission in the desert and blasted it all to
hell.
Nick “Brandy” Brandon
doesn’t expect to run into Victoria when he’s bugging out from a mission gone
wrong. It’s been more than three years since she disappeared from the sniper
course they were in together, and he’s finally stopped thinking about her
killer curves and smart mouth.
But now she’s back—and
she’s far more dangerous than Nick ever believed possible… Is she really a
traitor? Or is there something more at stake? He has to decide fast—because
time’s running out and too many lives hang in the balance…
Excerpt
Driven by some emotion she couldn’t name,
Victoria turned and walked back over to Nick. He was frowning at her when she
reached up and pulled his head down. She pressed her lips to his cheek, felt
the roughness of his stubble and breathed the smell of him—sand, spice, and
cool water—deep into her lungs.
“Thanks for saving me,” she said, her lips close
to his ear.
She started to step away, but he caught her
close and turned his head, his lips meeting hers. The contact was shocking—and
delicious in a way she hadn’t anticipated. She’d been kissed before, but this…
this was better than any of those kisses had been.
His mouth was soft and hard against hers, his
hands firm on her hips as he held her against him. The kiss was hot and tame
all at once. Simultaneously the most arousing and most chaste kiss she’d ever
had. He didn’t force her mouth open, didn’t thrust his tongue between her
lips—he just kissed her hard and thoroughly before setting her away from him
and taking a step backward.
And, God, she wanted his tongue so badly now.
Wanted to feel it sliding against her own, stroking her senses higher.
But the kiss was over and he was looking at her,
his jaw firm and a hard look in his eyes.
“You’re welcome,” he said, and it took her a
moment to remember that she’d thanked him for saving her.
“I… I have to go.” Her cheeks flamed as she said
it because he knew she had to leave as well as she did. The car was running,
and she’d left the door open. She took a step backward, and then another.
Then she turned and got inside the car,
determined not to look at him again. But she failed because she looked up, her
gaze clashing with his right as she closed the door. And she didn’t look away
as they drove off. Nick didn’t move from the spot she’d left him standing in.
It was only when the car
turned and he was out of sight that she remembered how to breathe.
