Deadly Deception

Dodging bullets comes naturally for these two. The real danger is the heat that smolders between them…

Still licking her wounds from a painful divorce, former covert operative Essie Jackson is adjusting to civilian life after a decade spent lurking in the shadows to keep America safe. She's got a new job, a new home, a new life, and yet she can't stop thinking about the only man she ever loved. But when a favor for her old mentor turns deadly, leaving Essie wounded and hunted, she's forced to turn to the one man she has desperately tried to forget.

Army veteran Russell Jackson never should have signed those damn divorce papers. He's never gotten over the sexy spy, and when she comes to him for help, Jackson vows to do whatever it takes to keep her safe—and reclaim her heart.

Now they're confronting old feelings as they work together to stop an elite team of assassins from murdering their innocent target. The heat smoldering between them could mean a second chance, but first they have to survive.
