Ribbon of Darkness

Kennedy Campbell has been running away for a long time, using her position as an international journalist to escape the ghosts of her family's past. She finds solace working in an Afghan refugee camp, until the Taliban attacks them and Kennedy is forced to flee. She is pulled into a terrorist's realm of darkness when she's taken hostage aboard a cargo ship in the Malacca Strait---and the only one who can save her is the man she can't trust. Ethan Barak leads a double life, helping MI6 bring down arms dealers all over the world, until his father is murdered by one of Ethan's old associates. Ethan makes his next mission a personal vendetta and infiltrates a terrorist organization in Indonesia to track down the killer. But when Kennedy Campbell is brought aboard ship as a hostage, Ethan realizes there is something much bigger going on---the terrorists plan to destroy the world's busiest shipping lane and throw the global economy into chaos. Now he'll have to make an impossible choice. If he saves Kennedy, he'll blow his cover, but if he can get her to trust him, maybe they could work together. With time running out and both of their lives on the line, can he convince her before it's too late?
