The Hero:

<>Austin’s been captured by the rebels and drug lords in South America, Columbia. He’s been beaten, but not badly enough that he doesn’t want Alicia from the moment he sees her

<><>The Heroine:

<>Alicia snipes for the DEA, but now her mission is a little different: rescue. She knows the area, so she’s been sent in with her chosen team of mercs. But Austin is no weakling, and he has information that changes the mission, and leads them on an adventure to find an American drug dealer, one who’s in the process of making a multi-million dollar trade. They search for the dealer, fight the rebels, and fall in love, the last of which Alicia never would’ve suspected she’d do in her whole life.

<>The Villain

<>An American drug dealer, in the jungles of South America, a man who’s willing to kill anyone in his path…but Austin and Alicia aren’t that easy to kill.

EXCERPT:

“You look as if you’re feeling better and…more flexible,” Alicia told Austin hesitantly.

He smiled and shifted from his back onto his side, turning towards her, propping himself up on an elbow. “Flexible? Is that what you really wanted to say?”

She held her ground, immobilized, said stiffly, “Yes. Flexible.”

“Not ruggedly handsome, manly, gorgeous? Breathtaking? All of the above?” he teased.

Was the miserable lout actually laughing at her? Maybe, maybe not. But he was definitely fishing for a compliment, feeling her out, or testing her. Something. And he unwittingly played with fire.

“You might be a little cute, but you don’t need me massaging your ego. I’m sure you have plenty of women back in the grand state of Texas doing that for you on a daily basis,” she said sarcastically.

He placed his large, warm hand on her hip, and she stiffened, shivering. “You sound a little jealous.”

She reached up and brushed his hand from her hip where it singed her.

Ridiculous, she thought, that such a slight touch could do such devastating things to her traitorous body.
