About
Threat of Danger
Falling
in love can be a deadly proposition in this pulse-quickening Mission
Recovery novel from the New York Times bestselling author.
Jess
Taylor and Derek Daley were in the throes of first love in a small
Vermont town when they were kidnapped by a serial killer. They
escaped his clutches—but not the trauma of the unsolved crime. With
their lives changed forever and their romance cut short, they went
their separate ways to exorcise their fears.
Jess
is living on the edge as Hollywood’s hottest stuntwoman. It’s no
longer terror thrumming through her veins. It’s adrenaline. Derek
is a former Navy SEAL spinning his ordeals into heart-pounding
bestselling thrillers. But when Jess is called home on a family
emergency, she must face the past—and face the man she left behind,
who is just as haunted and, like her, still so much in love.
Now,
as an old flame reignites, Jess and Derek are taking advantage of
second chances and putting their bad memories behind them. But here,
in the quiet town of Taylorville, a killer is getting a second chance
as well.

Excerpt
Common
sense said to walk away. She’d worked hard to make a life for
herself in LA that worked for her.
Screw
common sense. He stepped forward and reached around her, looped his
fingers around her slim wrists, and tugged her hands from her
pockets. Then he took those hands and drew her closer to him.
“Derek
. . .”
“I
wasn’t sure if you’d ever come back.”
“I’m
only back temporarily.”
“Is
that how you left things with Eliot?” That she’d be going after
him soon? His mouth tightened at the thought.
“He
had to go. He had meetings scheduled with directors. And new
equipment coming in that he has to test and make decisions on before
the next shoot.”
When
she talked about Eliot, she talked about the business. That gave
Derek hope. Sounded like they’d parted as friends and colleagues,
not as lovers who couldn’t wait to reunite.
Two
and a half weeks left, at the most. He knew her shooting schedule
from talking with Zelda. About eighteen days more before Jess had to
report to the set. So why in hell was he wasting time?
He
dipped his head and brushed his lips over hers. He’d gotten lost
once in the Iraqi desert for three days. He hadn’t been as thirsty
for water back then as he was now for a taste of Jess.
When
she didn’t protest, he pulled her fully into his arms and kissed
her.
The
point of no return. He needed to find out if things could still work
between them. He wanted her, and he could no longer pretend that he
didn’t.
Her
body was firm, but her lips were soft and silky, as sweet as Zelda’s
prizewinning angel food cake. As sweet as the old Jess. Except, this
new Jess, she was a woman. She had the power to bring Derek to his
knees.
He’d
told her that he would give her whatever she needed from him. He
hoped she’d figure out that he was what she needed. He was going to
have to help her reach that conclusion.
He
breathed her in. She smelled like redemption. Like maybe he could
have a do-over and get it right this time.
She
stood still in the circle of his arms. Undecided. Wary.
Better
than a sharp knee in the balls, but Derek wanted more. He nibbled her
lips and licked the seam, tasting her.
She
tasted like a whole new world opening up. She tasted like the blank
page of a book before he’d written the first word, the
possibilities limitless.
Was
the story of his life written on her heart? Was the story of her life
written on his?
Too
early to tell. But he wanted to find out. Letter by letter, word by
word, sentence by sentence. If only she’d let him.
She
did let him in, let him deepen the kiss. Progress, but this was just
the opening of her lips, not the opening of her heart. Still, Derek
wouldn’t have been a good SEAL if he didn’t grab every advantage,
no matter how small. And, really, the kiss could not be called small
by any measure.
As
he swept into Jess’s mouth, he felt his boundaries expand. Need
rushed in, and filled him like water flooding into a torpedoed
submarine. He sank onto the seabed of things he always wanted but
never believed he could have. Jess’s forgiveness . . . and more.
All
these years, he’d thought her forgiveness was all he wanted.
He’d
been stupid.
He
wanted this. Jess. And he knew in that moment that he was going to do
whatever it took to get her and keep her. Eliot couldn’t have her,
no matter how handsome he was, or how much they had in common, or how
hot women thought it was that the guy was some grandmaster of stunts.
Derek
wasn’t going to let Eliot have Jess. He didn’t care if the guy
jumped out of a burning helicopter, tied hand and foot, with a
ticking bomb in his backpack, and got an Oscar nomination in every
single category for the performance.
