Book
One of the PROTEKT SERIES
Living a double life is very dangerous…
Even more so when higher authorities and military agencies
are envious of the position you hold and the money you make.
In the life of a PROTEKT agent, intelligence is key and the
knowledge of guns must be second nature. Their sole mission—to get the job done
swiftly with little mistakes. They’re paid well to handle all situations and
hired to do things their own way, often disregarding the laws. Chief Wes gives
them this freedom because being ruthless is usually required to finish the job.
When the world’s governments have run out of options, they
request the assistance of PROTEKT to handle the situations no one else is able
to solve. Only one thing could stand in the way of the agents success—his or
her own desires for permanent companionship.
Tagline: Who would’ve thought that a British hit man would fall in lust at first
sight with an American felon? This desire could become deadly for both.
Blurb: Aiden Moriarty is a Florida ‘herbalist’ who developed a
performance enhancing drug many athletes have used. One of them is baseball
star Ivan Salerno, who was caught using the drugs and is now on the brink of
getting suspended. Because of Ivan’s connections with a rogue mob boss, Aiden
is taken into a witness protection program, working along with baseball higher
ups until he testifies.
The mob boss, Augustine Ora, has hired former British
military officer and his best hitman, Devlin ‘Brit’ Crawford, to do the job.
Ora has instructed Devlin to go to Miami, kidnap Aiden and take him to the
local airport to be transported to Havana ,Cuba, to be executed by Ora’s top officers.
However, when Devlin receives the email, the pictures of
the blue-eyed felon catch his eye and he is moved to go in a different
direction. Instead of delivering Aiden to the airport, he has thoughts of
taking him away and saving him from Ora’s wrath.
This move puts him, Aiden, as well as his assistant
Miranda Ashley in huge danger. Will Devlin keep Aiden safe despite the odds or
will he fail, causing Ora and his men come after him?

Excerpt
“Um.” Aiden cleared his throat,
hoping Miranda didn’t have a quick trigger finger. “I know it’s a risk what
you’re doing—a huge one—but I can make it worth your while. I really can. And,
uh, after the talk we had in the car—”
“You were thinking we could have
something, hmm?”
Aiden swallowed hard and looked down
at his feet. He clasped his hands together as if he was praying for something.
“We could if you don’t deliver me to Ora.”
“Aw, isn’t that so cute, D? The American
is begging you to spare him. He’s so adorable. Don’t let that overweight son of
a bitch win, yeah? You need someone and hell, you’ve been saying how much
you’ve wanted to get away from Ora for a while.”
“True, very true. See, Aiden? It’s
not really all about you. My bird is
right when she says I need a chap in my life. However, my reason for keeping
you away is more about being a rebel. I haven’t been happy with the way Ora
does things for quite a while. Additionally, I’d like to see that cheater Salerno
go down in flames, because I don’t really like cheaters.”
“Neither do I,” Aiden responded.
“But you helped these men get ahead
with drugs so, obviously, you take no real issue with it.”
“Yeah I do.” Aiden laughed
nervously. “I just wanted to do something different and make some cash. That’s
all. Hey, if you keep me alive, you can help me expose him and Engel, too. I’ve
got no doubt the guy may be working for Ora—or even Salerno.”
“You might be right there, but the
question still remains…” The man walked closer to Aiden, still mostly naked. He
dragged his finger over Aiden’s forehead and twirled one of his curls around
the tip. “Is the cause to bring a cheater down and have a good-looking American
on my arm worth my life and the money Ora has offered me?”
Aiden’s eyes met his kidnapper’s
deep brown gaze. His breath caught in his chest while he got lost in the man’s
heated stare. His heart thumped against his ribs and his cock, already hard,
strained in his underwear. He stuttered, “I-I’d say, yeah.”
He raked Aiden’s hair away from his
eyes. “Of course you would.” He
flashed a pearly white smile and swiped his tongue over his lips.
Dear
God!
Watching Brit’s sexy gesture,
Aiden’s erection grew more. If this man didn’t have a pistol pointed at his
temple, he’d grab Brit and plunge his tongue down his throat.
“Miranda, let the man take a bath
and get ready to move. We’ll be going to Miami very soon.”
Just that statement caused Aiden’s
erection to deflate, and his heart sank. The thought of his impending doom made
his gut twist in ways he couldn’t explain.
Miranda clicked her teeth and
frowned. “But, D?”
“Now,
Miranda. No buts, right? This is my life on the line for someone I don’t even
know. Like I said, I can get a real nice bang at home for what he’s paying me.
And you never know—something real might come out of that, hmm?”
