When Navy SEAL Commander Logan
Rodgers winds up on a botched mission in the Gulf of Oman, his quick action in
saving MI6 asset, Olivia Hamilton, brings him to the attention of the
international espionage arena.
Recruited by the mysterious and
elite International Clandestine Enterprise (ICE), Logan faces Olivia again, but
this time they’re on the same team. Sparks fly as the two compete in a clash
between skill and keen intellect, until a French girl is kidnapped by a
suspected terrorist.
Posing a married couple, steam
erupts between the pair while Logan and Olivia dive deeper into an ISIS
kidnapping ring. But when Olivia becomes the kidnapper’s next victim, she
enters a madman’s hell. And as Logan races against time to save her, one thing
ravages his soul. If he fails, the woman he loves will be lost to him forever.

Her heart
nearly stopped when a hand slid over her mouth and another disarmed her. “I’m
Commander Rodgers from the USS Washington, and you’re coming with me now,” an
American growled in her ear. From the girth pressing against her back, he was
solid—but Olivia could take him.
Grinding
her teeth, she threw an elbow to his sternum. He blocked—so like a hotshot. Few
people were fast enough to react to one of her strikes. But she’d nail him with
her second try. Whipping around, she aimed a kick at his groin, but he blocked
that, too. At least six-two and faster than an asp, Rodgers stopped her next
kick by catching her ankle and giving it a twist—a warning.
“Enough.
Come.” Jesus Christ, his eyes were the color of a teal lagoon and they drilled
into her like daggers.
She shook
her head. God, she wasn’t about to go anywhere with dagger-eyes. Not without a
fight.
Suited up
in scuba gear, his facemask cocked atop his head, the man had to be daft. “What
the fuck, Aquaman?” she whisper-shouted. “If anyone sees you, we’ll both be
shot before the first question’s asked.”
His
eyebrows slanted downward over those damned eyes. “Yeah?” he whisper-shouted
back. “Everyone on this boat will be dead in fifteen. If you want to live,
you’ll do as I say.”
Olivia’s
mouth went dry. She blinked, shaking her head. He had to be mistaken. One more
day and al-Umari’s ass would be hers. “Are you off your trolley? I’ve put too
much into this project to have it blown to smithereens. Call off your dogs
before you cock-up the entire op. Now.”
“No can
do,” he said like her hard-earned cover wasn’t about to become the greatest
wipeout in MI6 history. “Sorry to ruin your party, but there’s a bomb attached
to the hull. Can’t be killed, can’t be dislodged, and if you stand here arguing
with me for one more second, you’ll explode into so many pieces, you won’t make
a meal for a goddamned minnow.”
Those are
my choices?
“Christ!”
She jammed her finger under his nose. “When this is over, your ass is mine.”

Author Info
Amy embarked on her writing
journey shortly after she completed an MBA with Heriot-Watt University in
Edinburgh, Scotland. Her first manuscripts were suspense novels and were never
published. She calls them baptism by fire—lessons in learning to write fiction.
These lessons, combined with several writing conferences and classes, led her
to write her first published book, Boy Man Chief, which won the League of Utah
Writers award for Best Manuscript, and the Spark Book Award.
A lot has happened since, with some
of the highlights being Rise of a Legend winning the national RONE award for
Best Time Travel; hitting the Amazon Top 100 Bestseller list; and a host of
other accolades.
Amy enjoys the freedom of
authorship and the opportunity to work creatively every day. She has lived in
Australia, Bermuda and has spent extensive time in Scotland. Whenever possible,
she visits the places she writes about to add vibrant realism to her stories.
She loves writing Scottish
historical romance, and now she’s adding romantic suspense to the mix. Come
along for the ride!
MY INTERVIEW WITH AMY
JARECKI
How
would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your
work?
I write
fast paced, passionate novels with a number of plot twists.
What
are some of your writing/publishing goals for this year?
I have
just signed a contract for two more books in the Lords of the Highland Series,
which is super exciting. I’m also releasing the next book in the ICE Series,
BODY SHOT, on August 29th. THE HIGHLANDER’S IRON WILL (a novella)
will be released on September 19th and will be FREE! And THE
HIGHLAND GUARDIAN will be released on December 19th. Whoa!!
Do you
feel that writing is an ingrained process or just something that flows
naturally for you?
I use
process to channel my creative flow, otherwise I’d be all over the place
(LOL).00
Where would
you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere? What would you do with this
time?
If I
had a year to travel, I would spend it traveling by train through Europe. Can
you imagine all the fantastic sites, the rich history, delicious food and wine,
and interesting people?
Austria
Belgium
Czech
Republic
Denmark
France
Spain
Estonia
Italy
Switzerland
Poland
Germany
Holland
…and the list goes on!
Can you
share you next creative project(s)? If yes, can you give a few details?
As I
mentioned above, the next book is BODY SHOT, which will be released on August
29th. Mike Rose is the hero who is introduced in HUNT FOR EVIL and
he has a hell of a time recruiting a new sniper into ICE and once he’s
successful, he wishes he hadn’t been:
She
has every right to feel venomous resentment…
Convicted of a murder she didn’t
commit, sniper Henri Anderson suffers two years of hard time before she’s given
a choice—accept an unknown assignment offered by a seedy foreign dignitary or
head for home. The decision took all of two seconds. At least that’s what she
thinks, until a mysterious Scottish man shows up and offers a deal sweet enough
to tempt a saint.
But
has the rugged blue-eyed closer met his match?
Annoyed that ICE is wasting his time by
sending him to Utah to recruit a talented soldier who has already turned them
down, secret agent, Mike Rose, has no intention of failing. He’s a tough guy
with more persuasion in his hard stare than most people manage with an oration.
Disarmed by a woman who’s not only tenacious, she’s downright stunning, Mike
tempts Henri with something even a hardened Delta Force sniper can’t refuse.
And once she’s hooked, Mike thinks he’s done—can go back to covert ops working
alone. But Henri isn’t a woman who’s easy to forget. And when she’s snared by
the clutches of the very man who framed her for murder, the big Scot will sell
his soul to save her.
