Tortured and held in the compound of a psychopath who
happens to be an important businessman, Angel Farentino has
just one chance at escape. Her timing must be just right
or she will suffer a horrific death at his hands, much
worse than she has endured so far.
Her prayers are
answered and she ends up stowing away on a plane owned by
Zane Jackson. To help build his charter business, Zane
flies in weather no one else in their right mind would
attempt but he needs the money in order to help his
sister. Along with the income he receives from the DEA
he'll soon see all of his plans come to fruition.
So why
would he let a damsel in distress interfere? That's
easy, there was no one there to help his sister when she
was in trouble so maybe he can atone for not being around
by helping Angel. Ironically the first time they meet face
to face, Angel brings out emotions he thought he would
never feel making her more dangerous than he could
imagine.
Angel took something important from her captor
and he will do whatever it takes to get it and her back
which is why she must get away from the first man to show
her that not all men are evil. She didn't count on how
much her heart yearns for love and acceptance. As much as
he tries, Zane is unable to hold onto Angel but her return
stuns them both.
In between evading the hit men sent after
her and trying to prove her innocence, Angel and Zane begin
a love affair in which neither is sure they'll be around to
see to
the end. When Zane learns someone is trying to sabotage
his business, his attention is split between watching
Angel, looking for information on her past, and trying to
find the culprit.
Who wouldn't be a wreck with all of this
going on but Zane knows he can have it all if he can just
keep his wits about him. A riveting thriller and a
haunting love story with characters I couldn't help but
empathize with. Their real life flaws keep the tension
tightly woven throughout LAST CHANCE RUN while the action
moves at a good enough pace to make for an even mix of
suspense and romance.
SUMMARY
Escaping the compound of a deadly international felon--with
a fortune in rare, stolen coins hidden on her body--elite
athlete Angel Farentino has to make the most important run
of her life. Literally. With her father in prison, where he
belongs, and a prior undeserved conviction hanging over her
head, she has nowhere to turn and no one to trust.
Definitely not law enforcement who railroaded her through a
judicial nightmare. One step ahead of lethal men and dogs
on her trail, she runs into the arms of a dark stranger
willing to help her if she’d let him. But that would only
get the sexy pilot killed.
Between figuring out who’s sabotaging his undercover work
for the DEA and trying to save his baby sister from herself,
Zane Jackson has enough on his plate. The last thing he
needs is to get entangled with a woman who’s treading on the
wrong side of the law. But when the long-legged distraction
races into the middle of his operation and stows away on his
plane, a primal need to protect forces Zane to risk
everything, starting with his heart.
