She is totally shocked when she's carried off by muscle bound Mason Hunt who is there to rescue her. She's even more shocked when she learns that Mason was sent there to kill her. Mason is an enforcer with EXIT, Inc. and is suspicious about the orders he's been given. When he decides to not follow through on those orders he and Sabrina are on the run. EXIT STRATEGY keeps your attention from the beginning to the end. They encounter one disaster after the other. Sabrina has suffered so much personal loss until she's not sure who she can trust. Trying to keep Sabrina safe will prove to be quite a challenge for Mason because Sabrina shows that she's not docile and does not take well to orders. Because of the type of life Mason has lead he is kind of rough around the edges but being around Sabrina brings out feelings he can't keep hidden. Mason tries to keep a distance between them but soon learns that it's pointless to try to resist it. With assassins after them from all directions Mason gets some help from fellow enforcers. They have a full out war ahead of them and it takes everything they have to get through it. When it seems like all hope is gone Mason proves to Sabrina that she can rely on him to keep her safe. Trying to prove that the CEO of EXIT is corrupt proves to be harder for Mason and his fellow enforcers than they had hoped for. Looking forward to the next book to see how things work out for Mason and Sabrina. EXIT STRATEGY is a great story about trust and determination. Lena Diaz knows how to entertain you!

SUMMARY

Lena Diaz launches her thrilling new series featuring the undercover vigilantes of EXIT Inc. with a skilled operative putting his life—and his heart—on the line for a woman in trouble When Sabrina Hightower awakens to the sound of an intruder, she figures he's there to rob her, murder her— or worse. She doesn't expect to be carried off by a muscle-bound stud with male-model good looks . . . or that he came to rescue her. Mason Hunt became an enforcer with EXIT Inc. to eliminate the bad guys—terrorists, militia groups, all those who would do America harm. But his latest target is innocent. If EXIT could lie about sultry, strong-willed Sabrina, what darker truths might they be concealing? Going rogue in the rugged North Carolina mountains, Mason risks everything to keep Sabrina close, especially now that EXIT's lethal assassins are chasing them down. The heat is on . . . but it's nothing compared to the slow burn of seduction.

Excerpt

Sabrina crept into her moonlit living room and grabbed the arm of the couch for support. Her right hand, slippery with blood, slid across the cloth and she fell to her knees on the hardwood floor. A gasp of pain escaped between her clenched teeth before she could stop it. She froze, searching the dark recesses of the room, squinting to try to bring everything into focus. If the intruder was within ten feet of her, no problem, she could make out every little detail. But any farther than that and he might as well be a fuzzy blob on the wallpaper. Had he heard her? She listened intently for the echo of footsteps in the hall outside, or the squeak of a shoe, the rasp of cloth against cloth. But all she heard was silence. In a fair world, that might mean the stranger had given up and left the house. But in her world, especially the nightmarish last six months, it probably meant he was lying in wait around the next corner, ready to attack. The throbbing burn in her right bicep had her angling her arm toward the moonlight filtering through the plantation shutters to see if the damage was as bad as it felt. Nope. It was worse. Blood ran down her arm from a jagged, two-inch gash and dripped to the floor. She clasped her left hand over the cut, applying pressure and clenching her mouth shut to keep from hissing at the white-hot flash of pain. She had to stop the bleeding. But there wasn’t any point in looking for something here in the living room to bind the wound. Only the couch and a wing chair remained of the antiques that she’d brought with her halfway across the country from Boulder, Colorado to Asheville, North Carolina. She’d sold the other furniture, and even some of her sketches, to pay the exorbitant fees of the private investigators searching for her grandfather and the even more exorbitant fees of the lawyers. She supposed the Carolina Panthers nightshirt that she was wearing might be useful as a tourniquet. But she didn’t relish the possibility of facing an intruder in nothing but her panties. The nightshirt was definitely staying on.
