When danger
lurks in the shadows…
Government
secrets are being sold and the newly sworn in President of the United States
already feels out of options. Without knowing the full scope of the scandal,
the president decides to turn to the one person he knows he can trust—former
FBI Agent, Elizabeth James. Her deep distrust of the system is rooted in her
unfair discharge from service. Now she sees a chance to restore her reputation
and send a message to those that would use their power to destroy others'
lives.
Elizabeth James is ordered to do whatever it takes to end a criminal
organization pulling the strings of the worlds’ governments to do their
bidding. She's also been told that this is completely off the books. If caught,
the government will deny all knowledge of her and the mission. Elizabeth was
ready to go it alone until a man with a chip on his shoulder mysteriously helps
her when she’s under fire.
Dalton Cage
had led his small group of elite Air Force Pararescuemen into the most
dangerous parts of the world to rescue civilians and soldiers alike. He thought
his time spent evading enemy fire was over after he was booted for ignoring an
order he believed to be wrong. But enemy fire was nothing compared to the
dangers he faced when he was offered a chance at redemption. All he had to do
was provide back up to an undercover agent and he’d get a chance to rejoin his
pararescue team. Danger strikes early and often as Elizabeth and Dalton begin
their mission and find their hearts becoming involved. Now every decision could
cost them their freedom . . . or their lives.

Excerpt
Lizzy pulled the syringe from her purse as she strode toward the bathroom. She pulled the cover from the needle and placed it inside the small clutch she carried. She pushed open the door to the bathroom and stood waiting for Phylicia to come out of the stall. She heard her whispering into her phone that she wasn’t alone and couldn’t talk anymore before hanging up. She flushed the toilet, but both Lizzy and Phylicia knew there had been no reason to do so.
“Sorry, I just had so much champagne,” Phylicia said as she opened the door. She didn’t get to say another word as Lizzy smirked and jabbed a needle right into her neck.
“What the hell? Elizabeth?” Phylicia muttered right before her eyes drooped closed and she crashed to the floor. Lizzy didn’t feel an ounce of remorse as Phylicia’s head smacked against the marble tiled floor.
Lizzy grabbed her by the arms and pulled. Not only did the marble flooring look amazing, it also provided amazingly little resistance for dragging a body. Lizzy pulled Phylicia out of the bathroom and down the hall before using her bottom to push open the emergency exit. True to Alex’s word, no alarms went off.
Alex let out a low whistle. “I mean, I knew you could do it. I just didn’t think you actually would.”
Lizzy grunted as she hefted Phylicia’s body into the van. “Get her phone and disable it. I don’t want anyone to know where we’re going.”
