ABOUT: Trapped by a future she refuses to face…
Accused
of cyber espionage by the United States government, ethical hacker
Ivy Macpherson is now on the FBI’s most wanted list. Out of
options, she runs, desperate for time to prove her innocence. When
fate takes an unexpected turn, bringing her face-to-face with Tydrin,
she must decide—trust a man more dangerous than the hunters on her
trail to keep her safe. Or risk capture by a covert agency well known
for ruthlessness.
Condemned by a past he doesn’t want to remember…
Cursed with a terrible temper, Scottish dragon-warrior Tydrin struggles to atone for a mistake that took innocent lives. Unable to forgive himself, he returns to the scene of his crime in hopes of finding absolution, but discovers a woman in need of his help instead. Intervening in the nick of time, he whisks Ivy to safety, only to realize the daughter of the family he wronged is the one destined to steal his heart.
EXCERPT: The climb over the high stone wall almost killed her. The half mile trek across the cemetery in the dark hadn’t helped much either. Not that Ivy Macpherson could afford to complain. Not after escaping with little more than the clothes on her back. She was alive and mobile, and no matter how screwed up the situation, she refused to take it for granted. Gratitude surfaced along with her relief. On her knees in the dirt, she bowed her head. A cold breeze flicked over the nape of her neck. She shivered and, closing her eyes, offered up a quick prayer. An inadequate way to say thank you maybe, but…
By God,
she’d made it.
All
right, so it hadn’t been smooth sailing. She’d been lucky. So
damn fortunate to have gotten out of Washington D.C. in one piece.
Quick wits had helped. A friend with questionable business contacts
had done the rest, providing fake ID, some cash, and a one way trip
to the UK. A rough ride by any standards. To be expected given the
circumstances. The crew aboard the freightliner Mary Frances would
never be called sweethearts. Or embody kindness.
She
should know. After a week of hiding out on the open seas—of
scrubbing pots, mopping floors, and dodging the cop-a-feel
Captain—Ivy now understood the meaning of hard work. Manuel labor
at its finest. Sexual harassment at its worst. Not a bit like her
regular job. But then, the terrified and on the run couldn’t be
choosy.
Neither
could a hacker accused of espionage by the US government.
