    About this ebook

    Amelia Hartliss is out in the field, battling against terrorists and trying to capture her nemisis, the gun runner Emil Gorange. Unfortunately, her efforts have cost her dearly. She has been captured, beaten up and now faces certain death. Desperate, she aches for her ex-lover Mickey to arrive and rescue her, but the 'back-up' that arrives is less impressive. Still, the little man saves her life that time, and they start working together, despite her misgivings. As the operation progresses, Melia is amazed to find her feelings growing for the guy. What is this? Can it be love?

    Mike Scantlebury is my author name, which I chose once I'd decided to use my real name on the outside of books. I was born in the South West of England, but after a lot of roaming, found a new billet in the North West, across the river from Manchester (England). I've written dozens of books and you can find them on the shelves of online bookstores everywhere. They're mostly in the world of Romance and the smaller world of Crime Fiction and Mysteries. Mostly, the novels are like the great Colossus and straddle both sides of the stream. The thing that makes me interesting is that I also sing and write songs and you can find them on social media and the corners of The Web. Which is pretty good. I'm a bit old for the internet, really.

      “Wake up.” The words shuffled through the darkness of her mind, tugging at her. “Wake up.” Firm, persistent. A trickle of light invaded her senses, growing into a blinding glare as her eyelids fluttered. “Where… Where am I?” Myrah asked groggily, her
