Spies, vengeance, and one seriously well-dressed man.
“If Bourne dressed like Bond and acted like Grey, you’d have Jax De Luca.”
An addictive new romantic suspense series from the desk of USA Today bestselling author Deanna Roy/JJ Knight
Mia trembles as she reads the letter that arrives from Ridley Prison.
Seduction. Bondage ropes. Descriptions of things Mia has never experienced or known.
The man’s words are desperately passionate. He longs for a woman who must have given him a fake address. Mia’s address.
She plans to send the letter back. He’s a convicted felon.
But his words gnaw at her. She’s never done anything dangerous. And no man has ever talked to her like this.
So Mia writes him, pretending to be the woman he desires.
It’s her one dark thrill in her dull, solitary small-town life.
The man is in prison for another fifteen years.
It’s harmless. She is safe enough.
Until he escapes.
I reach to tap my watch, remember it was confiscated during my interrogation, and manually bring up the dash screen. “Encrypted message,” I say.
The display flashes red, then green. “Encryption initiated,” it says.
“Message to Sam and Colette. Klaus dead. Records deleted. Rendezvous in—” I glance at the countdown to when I have to give up the ID of the car. I can’t push it. “Thirty-six hours.” I give a set of coordinates.
Mia sniffs. This is the first time she’s fallen apart since this ordeal began. And rotten timing. We have to escape. Now.
“They were going to send me home.” She rubs her neck where I’m sure the pain still throbs. “But I didn’t want to go.”
I cut off the communication screen so that it won’t add her ramblings to my message. Her voice sounds so forlorn, so lost.
“All right, I’ll play,” I say harshly. “Why didn’t you want to go home?”
Her green eyes search mine. She looks me over, my hair, the white shirt, now wet and sticking to me, my suit jacket still at the silo. They rest on my hand, which just caused her no small amount of pain as I pinched a nerve, trying to get the truth from her.
“Because I want to be with you,” she says. “All the way. With you.”
