A WANTED WOMAN
Clarissa Jones is running for her life. Though she has no idea why her ex-boss wants her dead, the killers at her heels are very real. Deep in the Montana woods she finds what seems like the perfect hideout, in Ezra Jefferson’s survival training school. The ex-military outdoorsman has the skills and training to keep her safe…but only if she’ll lower her defenses enough to let him help. When her attackers close in, Ezra’s protection and Clarissa’s fierce determination are all that will keep her alive—while the growing bond between them gives her a reason to fight to survive.
“Where can we find safety?”
“The trees,” Ezra said as they ran toward the thicker part of the forest, the chopper too close for comfort.
As she sprinted ahead of him, Clarissa stumbled. Ezra caught her and backed up to a tree, clutching her close.
The noise of the helicopter faded. He was aware of her palms pressed against his chest, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Do you think we lost them?”
“Wait a while longer,” he said. Her proximity made his skin tingle but he stepped back. He knew enough to know that people had let her down when she’d needed them. He wouldn’t destroy the fragile trust he saw in her eyes.
“Ezra, why are you helping me?”
His commitment went beyond responsibility to a client. He felt something much deeper for her. He couldn’t bring himself to say it, though. “Because you deserve better than having some murderer chase you through the woods.”
And unless they got moving, that’s exactly what she’d get.
