Romance Suspense

Skylar Baang awakes to footsteps in her home. Before she can escape, she is drugged and kidnapped. Because she works for the Navy as a research scientist, NCIS is called in on the case. Special Agent Vincent Fitzgerald finds where the kidnappers are holding Skylar and, just as she is trying to escape, he rescues her. They flee to a safe house, only to be found again by these Russian kidnappers. After a bloody battle ensues, Vin and Sky take off for a remote cabin belonging to a friend of his. It would really be nice to know who is after Sky and what they want. NCIS can't come up with any leads as to who is trying to kidnap Sky, and the men Vin left dead at the safe house only turn out to be Russian mercenaries for hire. Can Vin keep her safe until they can find the person behind this attack? Can he keep his heart safe from falling for Sky? DESIGNATED TARGET is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller with a lot of steamy romance on the side. Vin and Sky are very strong characters, who are literally running for their lives. The action and romance is hot and intense. Karen Anders gives us a story about sacrificing what you want out of life for others, about sharing real emotions and not holding on to the past. Vin and Sky have two different mindsets based on two different cultures. Can they get past their preconceived ideas about how they should live their lives and move forward to what they really want? Hold on tight for a plot that takes several unexpected twists and turns!

SUMMARY

Criminals want her mind... Her protector wants her love. Special agent Vincent Fitzgerald's mission is to find missing naval scientist Dr. Skylar Baang. The brilliant Filipino American beauty has been kidnapped for her knowledge and research on top secret projects. But even after Vin rescues her from a dangerous group, he knows they'll be back. A long-ago promise has kept Skylar committed to her work—love is a distraction she's never allowed herself. Now in the protective custody of a complicated NCIS agent who surprises her at every turn, Skylar wants to stop thinking and start feeling. But as the thugs come after her, she'll need everything she is—and smart, sexy Vin—to stay alive.
