In for the Kill
by Shannon

BLURB:
Years ago, the McClouds and their friends
rescued little Sveti Ardova from ruthless organ traffickers. Now she’s all
grown up, and getting into some scorching trouble of her own . . .
NO SURRENDER
The risks ex-cop Sam Petrie has taken have turned his life into a
train wreck. So he has nothing to lose by doubling down as the elusive Svetlana
Ardova’s unwanted bodyguard on her ill-advised trip to Italy. Her crusade
against modern slavery has blazoned a bullseye on her chest, but when one of
the death threats against her almost hits the mark, Sam’s protective instincts
go into overdrive. Every lethal obstacle and trap they encounter ups the
stakes—and the undeniable heat between them.
Now they’re spiraling in on a deadly and explosive secret—one that
could either redeem them or destroy them … and the closer they get, the shorter
the fuse …

Excerpt
Two:
"I watch the news, Sveti," he said patiently.
"I'm a cop. I have friends. I hear things. Plus, you live-streamed,
blogged and tweeted the whole thing to a hundred and twenty thousand
followers."
"And you are one of them, now? Spying on me?"
He plowed right on past that one, there being no point.
"Sneaking into that place with a live video camera on you was suicidal.
You should have just passed the tip onto the police, and let them deal with
it."
Her chin tilted up. "There were thirty-four trafficked
Chinese nationals locked in there, slaving eighteen hours a day! I saw my
chance, and took it! People have to see for themselves. It's the only thing
that makes it real for them! That's what pulls in the donations!"
"You can't help anyone if you're dead," he pointed
out. "But never mind that now. Just tell me about the death threats."
"It was just a letter," she said, defensive.
"Hand delivered. It said they were going to kill me. That's all. Nothing
came of it."
"When?"
She shook it off. "Months ago, now."
"So why aren't you guarded twenty-four seven?" he
snarled.
"I was! For months! Finally I put my foot down, because
it was absurd, Sam. I can't live my life like that. Don't worry! It's
covered!"

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Shannon
McKenna is the NYT bestselling author of over ten action packed, turbocharged
romantic thrillers, among which are the stories of the wildly popular McCloud
series. She loves tough and heroic alpha males, heroines with the brains and
guts to match them, villains who challenge them to their utmost, adventure,
scorching sensuality, and most of all, the redemptive power of true love. Since
she was small she has loved abandoning herself to the magic of a good book, and
her fond childhood fantasy was that writing would be just like that, but with
the added benefit of being able to take credit for the story at the end. Alas,
the alchemy of writing turned out to be messier than she'd ever dreamed. But
what the hell, she loves it anyway, and hopes that readers enjoy the results of
her alchemical experiments. She loves to hear from her readers. Contact her at
