Romance Suspense

Sam Kelly runs Kelly Group International, KGI, a family- owned business of ex-military brothers who take on jobs, such as highly sensitive rescue missions and work with the U.S. government. On a recent mission in Mexico doing undercover work, Sam meets a young waitress and falls in lust with her. He can't get enough of her, spending every free minute and many not-so-free minutes in his hotel room with Sophie. However, when some intel on Alex Moutin's organization arrives at his door, Sam tells her goodbye and heads out to his mission.

Five months later, Sam still can't get Sophie out of his head. He wonders if his feelings are something more. While grilling burgers with his brothers, Sam looks out across the lake and sees a floating log. Someone is hanging on to the end of the log, so he swims out and rescues a woman. Once he and his brothers bring her to the shore, Sam is shocked to discover it is Sophie; even more shocking is that she has been shot and is pregnant.

Sam soon discovers Sophie is none other than Moutin's daughter. Sam feels the complete fool, but if she is pregnant with his child, there is no way Sophie will be out of his life. Sophie tells Sam that her father is trying to kill her and begs Sam to trust her and keep their baby safe. Sam doesn't know what to think, but takes the threat seriously and with good reason. Events happen despite quick but thorough plans. Events that make Sam doubt Sophie is telling him the truth.

NO PLACE TO RUN, part of the KGI series, is a great story. The characters seem so real and their emotional pain is gut- wrenching. The Kelly brothers are sexy, strong men and I can't wait to read each brother's story. Maya Banks certainly knows how to deliver a sensual, spicy, suspenseful story!

SUMMARY

The last person Sam Kelly expected to pull wounded from the lake was Sophie Lundgren. Once they shared a brief, intense affair while Sam was undercover and then she vanished. She's spent the last months on the run, knowing that any mistake would cost her life and that of her unborn child— Sam's child. Now she's resurfaced with a warning for Sam: this time, he's the one in danger. Now he's her last chance.

Sam has too many questions to let her slip away again—like why she disappeared in the first place. This time he vows not to be seduced. But one look in her eyes, and the passion burns again, and Sam knows he’ll do anything to keep her and his child safe. However, Sophie’s dark past is more dangerous than he imagines, and the only way for either to survive it is to outrun it.
