Romance Suspense

Special Defense Forces operative C. Smith Rydell would like nothing better than to turn down the new assignment he's been given and go back to hunting down the woman who betrayed him six years ago. Instead, he's forced to take on bodyguard duty for a spoiled socialite whose life he already saved once four months ago. Though he hasn't been able to stop thinking about her since their one night of passion, taking her back into El Salvador to risk both their lives isn't exactly the type of reunion he had in mind.

Honey York has no choice in going back to El Salvador; the CIA demands it and if she fails, she will be charged with treason. For her mission, she gets forty-eight hours, six numbers, five suitcases and one lethal bodyguard. Smith saved her life once before and she's counting on him keeping her alive again as they travel into a deadly guerilla camp. Things quickly go from bad to worse though, as a ghost from Smith's past re-appears with a bloodthirsty plan of revenge against him for leaving her for dead. With bullets flying and a killer stalking them, this is a bad time for passion to ignite, but some things just can't be ignored.

Tara Janzen is back and I'm loving every page of it! ON THE LOOSE is a fast paced, action packed spin-off of her hugely popular 'Crazy' series featuring SDF, the Special Defense Forces members. A mysterious locked briefcase, retrieving sensitive CIA property, delivering ransom money, rescuing nuns; this book is non-stop action, cover to cover. Add the hot and heavy chemistry between Honey and Smith that practically singes your fingers as you flip the pages and you've got a book that'll keep you enthralled for hours. If you haven't already checked out the gang of SDF, this is the perfect time. You won't be disappointed.

SUMMARY

He's a special agent who never loses his cool.

She's the heat-seeking missle headed straight for his heart.

Keeping cool under pressure is the credo C. Smith Rydell lives by. That’s why he was handpicked by the Special Defense Forces for a mission few men survive. So why has the ex–DEA superstar been reassigned to Panama City, playing bodyguard to a blond in a black string bikini? Except Honey York isn’t your average pampered socialite. She’s the woman Rydell caught smuggling cash into El Salvador four months ago. And now she wants him to take her back.

All Honey has to do is find the guerrilla camp, deliver the goods, and get the hell out of the jungle—all in forty- eight hours. Only one man is up for the job. But sharing an unforgettable one-night stand was nothing next to being stranded with Rydell on some third world mountaintop. And with bullets flying and all hell breaking loose, now is not the time for passion. As if these two could possibly resist it….
