It was only when the car turned and he was out of sight that she remembered how to breathe.
A rebel on the run…
Victoria Royal is a traitor. Or so the U.S. government believes. Victoria was once a promising sniper in the Army, but now she’s gone rogue—worse, she’s just landed in the middle of a Hostile Operations Team mission in the desert and blasted it all to hell.
Nick “Brandy” Brandon doesn’t expect to run into Victoria when he’s bugging out from a mission gone wrong. It’s been more than three years since she disappeared from the sniper course they were in together, and he’s finally stopped thinking about her killer curves and smart mouth.
But now she’s back—and she’s far more dangerous than Nick ever believed possible… Is she really a traitor? Or is there something more at stake? He has to decide fast—because time’s running out and too many lives hang in the balance…

Excerpt
Driven by some emotion she couldn’t name, Victoria turned and walked back over
to Nick. He was frowning at her when she reached up and pulled his head
down. She pressed her lips to his cheek, felt the roughness of his
stubble and breathed the smell of him—sand, spice, and cool water—deep
into her lungs.
“Thanks for saving me,” she said, her lips close to his ear.
She started to step away, but he caught her close and turned his head, his
lips meeting hers. The contact was shocking—and delicious in a way she
hadn’t anticipated. She’d been kissed before, but this… this was better
than any of those kisses had been.
His mouth was soft and hard against hers, his hands firm on her hips as he
held her against him. The kiss was hot and tame all at once.
Simultaneously the most arousing and most chaste kiss she’d ever had. He
didn’t force her mouth open, didn’t thrust his tongue between her
lips—he just kissed her hard and thoroughly before setting her away from
him and taking a step backward.
And, God, she wanted his tongue so badly now. Wanted to feel it sliding against her own, stroking her senses higher.
But the kiss was over and he was looking at her, his jaw firm and a hard look in his eyes.
“You’re welcome,” he said, and it took her a moment to remember that she’d thanked him for saving her.
“I… I have to go.” Her cheeks flamed as she said it because he knew she had
to leave as well as she did. The car was running, and she’d left the
door open. She took a step backward, and then another.
Then she turned and got inside the car, determined not to look at him again.
But she failed because she looked up, her gaze clashing with his right
as she closed the door. And she didn’t look away as they drove off. Nick
didn’t move from the spot she’d left him standing in.
It was only when the car turned and he was out of sight that she remembered how to breathe.
