Avon Impulse
AEGIS: an elite team of ex-military
men who will do anything for their country…and their women.
Fighting to clear her brother of
murder, freelance reporter Sassy Smith is suddenly kidnapped and thrown into a
truck with other women who are about to be sold…or worse. When she sees an
opportunity for escape Sassy takes it, but she may have just jumped from the
frying pan into the fire.
Former Marine Bryan Fisher (aka
Hollywood) is no stranger to dangerous situations, or to his best friend’s
little sister. When he rescues Sassy, Bryan is determined to keep her safe…if
he can keep his hands off of her. Because Sassy is all grown up and not at all
like the girl he used to know. But he’s got bigger problems. And with enemies
coming at them from every corner, Bryan and Sassy will need to work together if
they’re going to survive.

Kay Thomas didn't
grow up burning to be a writer. She wasn't even much of a reader until fourth
grade. That's when her sister read The Black Stallion aloud to her. For hours
Kay was enthralled—shipwrecked and riding an untamed horse across desert sand.
Then tragedy struck. Her sister lost her voice. But Kay couldn't wait to hear
what happened in the story—so she picked up that book, finished reading it
herself, and went in search of more adventures at the local library.
Today
Kay lives in Dallas with her husband, two children, and a shockingly spoiled
Boston terrier. Her award-winning novels have been published internationally.
Bryan spared only a glance for the
three men on the ground before holstering his Glock. They weren’t going
anywhere. One had a broken neck, the other a cracked skull, and the third would
be unconscious for several hours.
He felt the adrenaline spike as he
looked at Sassy. Her blouse was torn, and the flowing skirt she was wearing
when he last saw her in Niamey was dirty and hiked up to the point where he
could see her ripped panties and tell that she preferred bikini waxes over
Brazilians. The bra she wore looked like something featured in the X-rated
dreams he’d had about her over the past six months, even with a torn strap.
She was shaking like crazy, and her
eyes were huge as she stood in the shadowed alleyway. He was shaking himself.
So grateful he’d found her before any more damage had been done to her, he
didn’t know what to say.
As it turned out, he didn’t have to
say anything, because she immediately began peppering him with questions as she
threw herself into his arms. “Ohmigod! You’re here. How did you find me? What
is going on? Are they dead?”
The questions came with the rapid-fire
pace of a machine gun. Even when scared out of her mind, Sassy could pull it
together, and she never stopped thinking. As a kid, she could cope with
disaster better than anyone he knew, and as an adult, she hadn’t relinquished
the title.
A smile tugged at the corner of his
mouth, and his body tightened with the inevitable response to that adrenaline
dump and the lightning-fast switch from killing a man to embracing an abundant
armful of warm woman. He knew the hug was an anomaly and decided he better
enjoy it while it lasted.
He took a moment to hold her to his
chest. “It’s complicated. I don’t know, and two of them are dead, yes.”
Sassy still clung to him, even as she
stilled in his arms and tried to step back. He held on to her a moment longer
until her hands changed from grasping him around the neck in honest relief to
an abrupt slide across his chest with a red-tipped fingernail. He let her go,
but he didn’t want to. The comfort of finding Sassy safe washed over him, along
with the realization that no matter how hard he’d tried, he hadn’t been able to
stop thinking of her since they’d reconnected last summer after Trey’s arrest.
