Hot & Bothered
Hostile Operations Team Series - Book 8
By Lynn Raye Harris
Synopsis
He can never
have her. Having her means the end of his career in the Hostile Operations
Team. But when he learns she’s carrying his child, he’ll have to make a choice…
Ryan “Flash”
Gordon has been drawn to Emily Royal bin Yusuf since the first moment he met
her. But she’s a terrorist’s widow, which means she’s completely off-limits. A
HOT special operator can never be with a woman whose name is on government
watch lists the world over.
But when Emily
begs him for just one night, he can’t refuse. The next morning, she’s gone. Not
just from his bed, but from his life.
Emily can never
clear her name—or can she? When a rogue CIA operative offers her a chance to
put her past behind her and do something for her country, she leaps at the
opportunity—even though it means leaving behind the man she’s fallen in love
with. But not before she lets herself have one night with him.
One night with
stunning consequences…
Excerpt
“Ryan.”
Emily’s voice was soft and shaky,
but her eyes were open. She gazed up at him with glassy brown eyes, and he sank
down on the mattress beside her, pushing her hair back off her forehead with a
tender gesture. Too late, he realized what he was doing and dropped his hand
away.
“I’m sorry,” she said softly.
Her apology kicked him in the
gut. “He lied to you, Emily. He can’t do what he said. You need to go home and
go back to school.”
She moved her head from side to
side on the pillow. Telling him no. Rejecting him.
He stiffened.
“You and Victoria want to cocoon
me in Bubble Wrap and keep me from living my own life. This is something I need
to do. I’m not leaving until it’s finished.”
“It’s not safe here for you. You
know that.”
“It’s not safe for you either.
For any of us.”
Ryan got to his feet. She was a
stranger to him in so many ways. The woman he thought he’d known—the soft,
sweet, sometimes confused woman—was nowhere in evidence. This woman was
determined and stubborn.
But so was he. He turned to Ian
Black and Matt, who’d come into the room with them.
“We need to call Mendez and get
her on the next transport out of here. She can’t stay.”
