Romance Suspense

In MIDNIGHT PURSUITS, Juliet Mason is a premier mercenary and assassin; cold, calm and always collected. When she discovers her brother near death and his fiancée assassinated, finding the murderer becomes very personal for her. The first order of business is to take out the man who killed the couple and find out who hired him. Juliet discovers that a cabinet member in the small country of Belarus is behind the killings. Orlov is systematically taking out the relatives of other cabinet members in a quest to weaken and demoralize them in a secret bid to become president of the country, all while blaming a terrorist group for the killings. Unfortunately, while taking out the assassin after getting the information from him, Juliet is shot twice and severely wounded. Ethan Hayes is taking a well deserved break between ops for the mercenary group he works for. His team specializes in extractions and retrievals. As their groups have worked together on occasion, Ethan and Juliet are familiar with each other in a professional capacity. When Juliet is unable to contact someone on her own team for help, she turns to Ethan. He patches up the worst of her injuries, and together they go after the soulless villain responsible for her brother's death. Juliet has always known that Ethan was interested in her; but she is a tough, hard woman, unable to commit to anything but the most casual of affairs. Juliet soon discovers what lengths Ethan will go to in order to make her see him as a man interested in a relationship with her rather than just uncomplicated sex. As they work together towards a common goal, their simmering attraction grows; and Juliet finds her resolve to keep her emotional distance from Ethan weakening. As with the rest of the books in Elle Kennedy's Killer Instincts series, MIDNIGHT PURSUITS in an adrenaline filled, exhilarating ride. The story is a thrilling, action-packed adventure; as well as a tender story of two people with dangerous jobs trying to find some happiness, even when they don't believe they deserve to be happy. Elle Kennedy has done an exceptional job with this series about a group of mercenaries doing a tough job in a dangerous, deadly world. MIDNIGHT PURSUITS, as well as the entire series is a recommended read for those who enjoy Romantic Suspense with a dark, dangerous edge. Although part of the Killer Instincts series with a regular cast of characters, MIDNIGHT PURSUITS can be read standalone with no problem.

SUMMARY

Her job is to stay hidden.
Too bad he can’t take his eyes off her.
 
Soldier-for-hire Ethan Hayes is the youngest member of an elite mercenary team. While he may be affectionately nicknamed the rookie, the skills Ethan honed as a Marine make him seriously dangerous. But when a sudden distress call puts him in close quarters with a rival, he finds more than his field skills being put to the test.
 
Juliet Mason stands out as the master thief in a covert group of assassins and spies. Her latest mission is personal—and it’s gone horribly wrong. Juliet may prefer to work alone, but when the rookie comes to her aid in snowy Eastern Europe, she can’t deny they make a good team. But even up against a powerful enemy, their most challenging task yet may be fighting the passion between them....
