Captain
Laurence Madigan is an anomaly—a levelheaded risk taker who learned the
dark side of life in Manchester’s slums. He needed those skills to
survive fourteen months as a prisoner of Firebird, a shadowy Russian
cartel.
When
rescued, he receives less than a hero’s welcome. He’s considered a wild
card—or even a double agent. After enduring agony and degradation for
Command Force Alpha, he’s determined to clear his name and bring
Firebird down…even if it means escaping CFA’s London facility with a
very personal hostage.
Oxford-educated
psychologist Gemma Calloway should fight her abductor tooth and claw,
but loyalty to her old friend wins out. Isolated in a rustic hideaway,
she tends his wounds and can’t help staring at his scars and prison
tattoos.
Their
impromptu safe house becomes a haven of uneasy trust and potent,
gathering desires. As they sort present dangers from past affection,
Gemma realizes she’s in over her head…and up to her heart with longing
for a good man whose last reason for living could be revenge.
“Come here,” Laurie said, crooking his finger toward Gemma.
She took one step, then cocked both a hip and an eyebrow. “Why?”
He draped his hands over the arms of the chair and lifted his chin in challenge. “Because I want you to. Because you want to.”
Her
mouth parted so Laurie caught a peek of the damp and delicate inner rim
of her ripe lower lip. Her feet moved toward him. Only one step at
first, then another. She locked her gaze with his, so he felt as if he
were reeling her in.
He
was trying so hard to fool them with this sane act. They both knew
monsters of the worst sort dwelled and gnawed in the dark recesses of
his mind. Guilt was the hardest to bear, chewing on the few soft bits
remaining of Laurie. Here, however, when they breathed too hard and when
Laurie’s pulse rushed in his ears, he would claim what he could—even if
it meant taking advantage of her lowered defenses. He knew compassion
fueled her desire, but he couldn’t find it in him to give a damn.
She
stood between his knees. He leaned forward and found the bottom button
of her plaid shirt. When Laurie parted the placket, she tightened her
sleek stomach muscles by sucking in a breath. He spread a hand across
her flesh. Resilience beneath silken skin revealed her fitness. She was
lean beauty, wrapped in agility and powered by a canny, too-hopeful
mind.
He
pressed his lips to the tender spot beneath her navel. She breathed
faster now and rested her hands at the back of his neck. Sensation
worked over his skin like the kiss of a disappointment yet to come.
Nothing like this lasted.
