      Trapped in the crosshairs, one couple faces a deadly mission…and a dangerous passion

      When a routine case goes bad, private investigator Brooke Rogers is seconds away from death. Until Jared Nash comes to her rescue. The rogue FBI agent is tracking his estranged missing brother when it leads him to the ruthless Russian mobster Brooke’s stumbled upon. Now in the arms of her sexy protector, Brooke is on the run for her life…

      The woman who thinks herself unlovable has awakened desires in Jared he buried long ago. Nothing can deny their passion. But when the firepower of the mob rains down on them, Jared must choose: follow his duty and save his brother…or follow his heart and save his woman.

      Her breathing grew shallow…

      She was light-headed, on the verge of blacking out. Could a person suffocate from fear?

      “Brooke, nothing bad is going to happen to you.” His fingers curled around her wrist. His touch was light. Gentle. Soothing. “I won’t let anybody hurt you.”

      She used to be the one to reassure victims. Now the tables had turned. If only she could go back in time, she’d change the event that had changed her. But that was impossible. Now she could only hold it together until the panic subsided.

      Jared stroked her hand. Up close, his jaw looked wider and his lips fuller. She wondered how they’d feel pressed against hers. Would his kisses be slow, deep, thrilling—

      “What are you thinking?” he asked.

      Heat flooded her cheeks. She couldn’t tell him that she was thinking about kissing him. Not when her worst nightmare had come true. Not when someone was out to kill her…

      Dear Reader,

      Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time?

      That idea, pushed to its extreme, fired up my imagination and inspired me to write Risk It All.

      Brooke Rogers has a new career as a private investigator. The past she wants to forget has left her with trust issues and nightmares, but at least she’s alive. Then she unknowingly sets foot on property owned by a mafia boss and is captured. Fortunately for Brooke, FBI agent Jared Nash is working undercover nearby and his conscience won’t allow him to leave the gorgeous blonde in harm’s way. After he rescues her, he has no desire to let her go. She’s smart and feisty but also surprisingly vulnerable, and he is attracted to her far more than he should be. Jared accepts her offer to help him search for his missing brother, partly to keep her close and safe. He can tell some past event still haunts her, and the only way to gain her trust and unleash her passion is to reveal deeply personal experiences of his own.

      I hope you enjoy Jared and Brooke’s story of danger and passion.
