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.
Bryan’s stomach tightened
when he ripped the shower curtain aside to find Sassy asleep on the tub’s
porcelain floor with her head leaning back against the tile. Her position
didn’t look very comfortable, but as exhausted as she was, it wouldn’t have
taken much. Steam floated around her, and the shower spray was hitting the wall
two feet above her head.
“Sassy?” He kept his
voice low, not wanting to startle her.
She never stirred, but she’d
been crying earlier. That much was obvious from the red splotches around her
eyes. And if the sight of her wet body in the shower hadn’t brought him to his
knees, her tear-splotched face did.
God,
please.
Let him face another man with a gun and a grenade any day. He had no idea what
to do with this woman’s tears.
“Sassy?” He spoke a
little louder this time.
Was this just the shock
of everything catching up to her?
Praying she’d just sat
down for a moment and dozed off and that this wasn’t some residual effect of
the concussion, he reached to turn off the still warm water. Otis must have a monster hot water heater in
this place.
Ignoring the torque in
his back, he grabbed the threadbare towel and borrowed robe from the countertop
and reached to pull her up and out of the tub.
When he leaned down over
her, her blue eyes flew open. Only then did she react. But not like he would
have expected. She went wild.
“No, dammit. No. Don’t
touch me … don’t ever touch me. Just stop! Stop!”
“Sassy? Sassy, it’s me.”
He dropped the robe on her shoulder and leaned back in a squat beside the tub.
Her eyes were glassy and
unfocused. She jumped to her feet and covered her breasts with one hand
protectively across her chest. He sat on his haunches, taking in the sight of a
naked, wet Sassy standing over him. Momentarily stunned, he never saw it
coming.
When her other fist
connected with his jaw, the cracking sound reverberated around the bathroom.
Still in a squat, he tipped backward. His shoulder bounced off the countertop
and he landed on his ass directly on the wet linoleum. He felt the jolt all the
way up his back again.
Jesus. He’d forgotten she
definitely didn’t hit like a girl. Damn.
The slap of his butt
hitting the wet floor seemed to pull her from wherever she’d been. Her eyes
widened and her mouth opened in a wide O.
“Bryan. Ohmigod. I’m so
sorry. I … sat down to shave my legs and … I must have dozed off.”
The shock on her face no
doubt mirrored his own as he rubbed his jaw. “Just glad you weren’t holding the
razor,” he mumbled.
She started to reach for
him, then stopped. He saw the moment she remembered she was stark naked.

Info
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.
